"This album grew out of twenty-plus years of playing music together and discovering songs and arrangements we both love. On this project, Curtis plays “Betsy,” his iconic ca. 1939 Gibson RB75 banjo, and I back him up on the 1949 Martin D-28 guitar that I learned to play this style of music on as a kid. I had sold that guitar in 1984 – out of necessity. When it unexpectedly found its way back to me several years ago, it instantly became my go-to guitar for backing up Curtis and Betsy. We recorded these tracks in August, 2017, two months before Curtis’ 90th birthday." – Andy May
