Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms - The Acoustic Burgoo

The Acoustic Burgoo was formed in the year 2006 inspired by some bluegrass jams, a cup of tea, a recipe book, and a leather hat. Growing up in quasi-rural suburb of Washington DC, the Burgoo got their performance roots at low-down local bars and festivals. It was clear that even before the release of their first album, The Salem Sessions, this quartet of mischievous kids were going to have a bright future in the new acoustic scene. Before any of the members were old enough to buy a beer they were opening for influential acts like Larry Sparks, Ralph Stanley, and The Seldom Scene and taking the stage at Floydfest and Watermelon Park. Now college students, the Burgoo is touring on breaks and developing their distinct soulful sound. They all still very much enjoy bluegrass jams and tea.

The Acoustic Burgoo released their second album, Soul Bucket, on January 1, 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
