Nora Brown returns with her third full-length album, Long Time To Be Gone. Recorded at the historic St. Ann’s Church in Brooklyn Heights, a large 19th century church with vaulted stone ceilings.
This album offers a snapshot of a remarkable young artist, showcasing both her instrumental abilities and her poignant, understated vocal delivery. The songs draw on the lived experiences of a broad swath of Americans, keeping their stories and spirits alive with reverence and vitality. Brown plays a variety of unique instruments on the record, too, including an 1888 Luscomb banjo owned by her great-great-grandfather, a fretless tack head banjo built by her dad, and an historic 5-string banjo that belonged to one of her mentors, New Lost City Ramblers member John Cohen (the instrument was played by Roscoe Halcomb on his iconic High Lonesome Sound album and is now in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress).
