Ginny Hawker & Tracy Schwarz: Draw Closer, Released 2004 CD
(Ginny Hawker, Tracy Schwarz, Ron Stewart, Peter Schwarz, Kari Sickenberger)
Produced by Dirk Powell

"Ginny Hawker has emerged as one of America's finest traditional singers, bringing a contemporary vitality to the soulful and unvarnished sounds of old-time mountain music. Tracy Schwarz has been a flamekeeper for old-time music since joining the New Lost City Ramblers in 1962. On Draw Closer they join together with Ron Stewart, Peter Schwarz and producer Dirk Powell for a captivating set of timeless music. "To survive in Ginny and Tracy's world a song has to be lean and its subject clear. They seem to understand that a song too full of itself leaves no room for the singer. The ones they choose are like sturdy old mountain cabins, with strong walls and a lack of excess within. They inhabit them completely, leaving the door cracked for us to follow."-Dirk Powell

Song list: Katie Dear. Those Blue Eyes. Soldier's Farewell. The Poor Drunkard's Dream. Little Willie. My Closest Neighbor. Climbing Up the Golden Stairs. The Dying Ranger. Love Will Roll the Clouds Away. Salem's Bright King. Poor Orphan Child. Lonesome. Lonesome for You, Darling. Please Baby.
