'Hiyo' is a coming out party in a lot of ways for a band that has been a staple of the American Folk Music scene for over two decades.

The album pushes the sound of CCL past anywhere it has been before - For a band that spent 15 years performing around a single microphone, they've found new inspiration in all of the sounds the world has to offer. "Synthesizers, drum machines, banjo...the world is really open right now to what constitutes folk music and we are grabbing on to that inspiration with both hands and not letting go," says leader Dave Wilson
