2 Bottle Sunday's debut CD was released in April 2008. It is a composite mixture of travels and tales, whims and wines, labor, laughter and love - organically grown in the South Florida sun.

The group consists of Matthew Sabatella, Jamie Lee Ganger, and Danica Allen. Matthew produced and recorded the CD and plays guitar, bass guitar, piano, drums, banjo, and harmonica. |

The
songs in this collection are among the most commonly sung in the
history of the United States. They present uniquely American musical
blends, with roots in European and African traditions and branches
that have sprouted countless regional and personal variants throughout
the country. Collectively, these songs of work, fun, and love transcend
social and ethnic boundaries, painting a broad picture of America
during the 18th and 19th centuries when music making was, for many,
an integral part of everyday life.
Songs
include Wabash Cannonball, Buffalo Gal, Oh
Susanna!, Pick a Bale of Cotton, Down in the Valley,
and many more.

"...Sabatella's
best asset is easily his voice, urgent but unforced, sweetly melancholy
in telling personal stories and powerfully evocative in rendering
antiquated songs intimate again." |
