what the critics are saying... 
...about NEWBAND'S recording of Southern Ephemera by Anne LeBaron
Newband plays Southern Ephemera at NYC's Alternative Museum Anne LeBaron's "Southern Ephemera," elegantly blurring snippets of song from the American South. 
Alex Ross, The New York Times

and at Wexner Center for the Arts Weigel Hall in Columbus OH, two reviews:
Anne LeBaron's "Southern Ephemera," . . . draws from sources ranging from country hymns to Hank Williams. It is a piece that tweaks the memory, touching on one reference and then another. Imagine standing on a Western butte and knowing that miles in the distance there are musicians playing. As the wind shifts, a snippet of a song--distorted by space and atmosphere--suddenly strikes. 
Tim Feran, The Columbus Dispatch

Of the other pieces on the concert, Anne LeBaron's "Southern Ephemera" was the best. She added flute, alto flute, and cello to Partch's instruments, then wove spirituals, country-western tunes, and jazzy melodies into a highly enjoyable composition.
