Rumors

What a Friend artfully blends so many different kinds of folk music that it comes across as an anthology or a variety show, yet with kindred themes and a unifying sound. Fans of Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, the Holy Modal Rounders, Leo Kottke, Tom Waits, and St. Louis’s own Flying Mules should celebrate the almost shocking release of a record of a type it was possible to believe would never be made again.

In an era when much of mainstream music feels driven by spectacle rather than substance, it is astonishing that this independent octet is not front and center. What a Friend is worthy of every accolade the industry has to offer. It would be a shame for such a masterful debut to go unnoticed by mass audiences.

Friendship was a big theme throughout the album because of all the people who came together to create it. From people in the recording studio to other musicians, American Pirates was able to be creative and make an album they loved.
