The Knackered Ramblers

The Knackered Ramblers pair two players with long careers in traditional music. Mike Compton, from Mississippi, is a mandolinist closely identified with the style of Bill Monroe, a longtime member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band and one of the musicians on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Laura Boosinger is a singer and banjo player from western North Carolina whose repertoire draws on the old ballads and string-band tunes of the Appalachian mountains.
