Not a moment too soon, Nathan returns with another homemade album on a homemade banjo.

This instrument took one hairy goatskin, half a cherry log and an old hedgepost. The instrument is tuned a 4th deeper than a standard banjo, giving it a deep resonance not typically associated with a 5-string. Those familiar with West African griot lutes such as the ngoni, may note a similarity in sound.

"The Bronze Hook," like "The Bronze Hoop" before it, is comprised entirely of original material. This new banjo lends a more earthy quality to the recording, contributing a pleasant array of buzzes, drones, and warm overtones to each song.

The album was recorded with one mic, as done on his previous EP. Once again, the aim was to capture the feel of old field recordings in the '20s and '30s.

With five new songs and one new instrument, enjoyment is sure to be had!
