With a blend of appalachian chamber music and ethnic folk styles, Phil Spirito quietly creates a mood of lonely, contented melancholia.

The interweaving melodies of the quartet and his gentle singing voice produce a comforting bed of sound. This group has wrapped up the very best of oRSo and eased it into a nice warm bath. (2004)
