With a life long dedication to Irish, English, Scottish and American folk music, Karie Oberg interprets the material on "Hard Times" with one foot firmly planted in the traditional, while at the same time keeping an eye on the future. Karie Oberg is sparsely accompanied on "Hard Times" by John Wright and Steve Lehto (of "Lehto and Wright") on acoustic guitars and mandolins, in addition to Megan Dudle on fiddle and Greg Reierson on percussion. Featuring new arrangments of Celtic and American standards, the limited production on "Hard Times" allows the full force of Karie Oberg's vocals to dominate the songs. A must for any fan of traditional singing, Karie Oberg is a force to watch for in that field, and "Hard Times" is a good start.
