Union

Pairing renowned singer/guitarist Sam Pacetti with flat-picker/ producer Gabriel Valla, Union offers a philosophical series of folk/Americana songs. Sam and Gabriel's guitars serve in understated support of the material: Ft. Worth Blues , Steve Earle's tribute to Townes Van Zandt; Verlon Thompson's Christians and Outlaws ; Pacetti's mystical originals. Valla sings a lead on Kate MacLeod's classic Lark in the Morning ; and the two make a picker's feast of Wildwood Flower . From St. Augustine, Florida, Sam Pacetti learned flamenco at the knee of his Cuban grandfather, studied classical guitar in his early teens, and became a protégé of Travis-style master Gamble Rogers. Tradition and innovation neatly balance in Sam Pacetti's music. There is a powerful raw emotionality evident as well - an earthy sensuality reminiscent of a red-dirt blues master. Born into a musical family, Gabriel Valla was treated to a succession of musicians - John Hartford, Bernie Leadon, Gamble Rogers, Vassar Clements, Will McLean and many others - passing through the Valla household. At 16, Gabe won the guitar flat-picking competition at Merlefest, and traded licks onstage with Doc Watson. Sam's 1997 Waterbug debut, Solitary Travel (also produced by Gabe Valla) garnered critical raves.
