Song Review: Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland feat. Sam Bush - “Give it Away”
Jason Carter and Michael Cleveland are urging their listeners to “Give it Away.”
Love that is.
The song is the title track from Carter and Cleveland’s first duo album. The dual fiddlers are joined on this one by Sam Bush on mandolin, guitarist Bryan Sutton, banjoist Cory Walker and Carter’s Del McCoury Band-mate James Alan Bartram on bass.
Adding to the supersession nature is that “Give it Away” is a Tim O’Brien/Matt Combs co-write set to a supercharged arrangement and girded with O’Brien’s trademark compassion:
The world is made of love and it doesn’t hurt to give it away, Carter sings.
There’s no release date for Give it Away. But “Give it Away” suggests there could be something special in the grooves.
