We don't usually have a lot of cowboy content on Song of the Soul, but this week we'll at least get a piece of that with the music of Dusty James & Abalone Pearl, with Pearl as our guest. Dusty and Pearl have just released their first album, after about 9 years of performing together, and it's a mix of their original songs with traditional and public domain covers. We'll only be hearing a small slice of their wide repertoire of instruments, like guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin, autoharp, dulcimer, and washboard, but we'll be enriched all the same. Get ready for a generous sampling of genres, including some blues, as Abalone Pearl joins us via Zoom from St Louis, Missouri.
