Big Richard brings bluegrass into the 21st century with their upcoming album Pet, confronting modern cultural unease through unconventional instrumentation and fearless songwriting. This bluegrass band distinguishes itself with the addition of cello alongside traditional bass, mandolin, guitar, and fiddle, creating a sonic depth rarely heard in the genre while staying true to early string band history.
Pet tackles weighty themes from environmental collapse to religious trauma, starting with the powerful medley "It's Gonna Fall/Old Daingerfield" before balancing intensity with tender moments and instrumental showcases like "Circus Jerk." The album demonstrates Big Richard's range through their blend of old-time classics, traditional fiddle tunes, original compositions, and thoughtfully chosen covers, making this a compelling addition for both bluegrass enthusiasts and vinyl collectors seeking music that speaks to contemporary anxieties.
