HOBACK, Wyo. — Your weekend soundtrack couldn’t get more roots-Wyoming than The WyoFolk Project. Released today to major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Hi-Res Lossless, the anticipated compilation album features fourteen previously unreleased songs by fourteen of Wyoming’s celebrated songwriters, with contributions from thirty-four session musicians. The 55-minute offering borders singer-songwriter, alt- and indie-folk, classic and alt-country, bluegrass, and Wyo-Americana with flourishes of blues and indie-rock.
The WyoFolk Project is a recording endeavor that was engineered from July to September 2022 at Three Hearted Recording Studio in Hoback, Wyoming. Recorded, produced and mixed by songwriter-session player Aaron Davis of bands Screen Door Porch and Aaron Davis & The Mystery Machine, the project was made possible by grant funding from the Wyoming Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature. The compilation was mastered by Jim Wilson (Dan Auerbach, Widespread Panic).
CDs and high-resolution streaming/downloads are available via the artist-friendly BandCamp at https://wyofolk.bandcamp.com/, which includes beautiful artwork with liner notes, access to lyrics, and listening in the audio format of your choice. Apple Music streaming is also offered in lossless, high-resolution with Apple Digital Masters format of 48k-24bit. For a more in-depth look into the making of WyoFolk, check out Buckrail’s ‘First Listen’ of the album.
Upcoming Release Concerts include Sept. 21 at the WYO Theater in Sheridan and Sept. 22 at the Gryphon Theater in Laramie.
