Take Me Home – The Luke Abbott Solo Album

Luke has reinvigorated an endlessly fascinating collection of songs; you will stop and wonder how one person can produce so much music with just one voice and one instrument.
—Brenda Hough, Bluegrass Breakdown
“I love your record......it's taken over my life.” –Jacob
“Your voice is at one with your instruments in a way that is very rare.” –Pam
“Wow! It's incredible. Deep and haunting and interesting...amazing.” –Gail
“Your music is as GOOD and satisfying as lovemaking! Goosebumps!” –Ella
“Good lord, Luke. That's great stuff.” –Kathy
“One of the few albums that I have enjoyed from front to back in a really long time.” –Snap
“It keeps getting better every time I play it...or is it my ear just hearing more depth each time?” –Ralph

Just me, an instrument, and a microphone, singing centuries-old traditional songs. To keep things interesting, most songs have been arranged in ways I haven’t heard before, while still paying homage to their mountain roots. This album was recorded “live” with no overdubbing in the spring of 2010. Enjoy, Luke
