A blazing violin solo was needed in 'Firelight' (track 01) and Rebecca Lynn provided exactly that; she is also heard in 'Soledad'.  I composed most of the songs in a brief mad burst in early 2000 as I greeted the new millienium after life-changing personal events. 'Spiderfly' was written some two years earlier; 'Sunset' in 2001, and 'The Tenants' filled out the procession in 2004.  I should have posted these songs much sooner, style consistency be damned. Oh well. You know what? It's all Me, because it's all WE.  Thanks, Spencer and Mike. Your playing has been fantastic. It's been great making music with you".  Nate Scoble  January 16, 2015   Firelight album by Nate Scoble was released May 12, 2008 on the Nate Scoble label.

Since then, the two have continued to collaborate, with Mike Gordon joining them on sax, on the Firelight and Trystram Street song cycles. These last works see the music continue to broaden and often become calmly introspective, ranging from traditional folk-rock influences through jazz and into 'prog'- and 'art-music' streams and pastures.     http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7703491 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/natescoble https://myspace.com/nmscoble http://www.natescoble.com/

tried to get rid of the oldest  backlog of the PF team, and this one gets also a maybe (like Bob)

Yeah, folk is part of the music (but it's hardly the only influence), the zaniness giving it a certain proggy twist, but is ot "prog" and furthermore, is "prog folk" or "folk prog"? definitely not sure.
I'd say that team like crossover or ecclectic should first get a chance to peek an earful at this before we make it ours (maybe... I'm not convinced more than that).
