O’s Notes: Trumpeter Nate Woolley wrote Ancient Songs of Burlap Heroes as a tribute to those who manage to get through life! Two words describe this outing: eclectic and eerie. That is the dominant mood on the first few selections. The sounds of nature: rain, waves, water, wind and birds come in on “Returning To Drown Myself, Finally”, leaving us feeling cleansed and hoping for a new day in a seemingly random walk. Perhaps our optimistic interpretation of the music was not the attempt of the writer but it’s what we felt.
