Song Review: Greensky Bluegrass with Aoife O’Donovan - “Merely Avoiding” (Live at FreshGrass)

With a little more rehearsal - and a little less wind - it could’ve been superb.

As it went, Aoife O’Donovan’s guest spot on “Merely Avoiding” with Greensky Bluegrass at FreshGrass is merely good as the singer struggles with the breeze that blows her lyric sheets around and hampers her ability to fully chime in Paul Hoffman.

Short mando, guitar, banjo and Dobro solos separate the vocal sections nicely and the song is a lovely shade of depressing. The same can be said for the missed harmonic opportunities.
