Unfortunate Rake Volume 2 Yellow Mercury is thematic (with its companion, Unfortunate Rake, Volume 1), comparing the frenzied greed of the goldrush in 1849 to the dot-com greed of 1999. The cover and extensive liner notes feature vintage photos by Julia Margaret Cameron, one of the first female Victorian photographers.
This album is the last to feature the original Crooked Jades lineup: Jeff Kazor (guitar/dulcimer/Hammond organ/mortar & pestle/vocals), Lisa Berman (dobro/Hawaiian slide/banjo/baritone ukulele/vocals), Tom Lucas (banjo/minstrel banjo/banjo uke/single quill/vocals), Adam Tanner (fiddle/mandolin) and Stephanie Prausnitz (fiddle/vocals).
The Crooked Jades are on a mission to reinvent old-world music for a modern age, pushing boundaries and blurring categories with their fiery, soulful performances. Innovative, unpredictable and passionate, they bring their driving dance tunes and haunting ballads to rock clubs, festivals, traditional folk venues and concert halls across America and Europe.
