The Kruger Brothers With the Kontras Quartet.“Lucid dreaming is the state of mind in which a person is fully aware that they are dreaming. It seems to me that all life is unfolding like a dream, swirling like dance in flight. For all things that have a beginning, I assume that they also must have an end. I have a strong sense that dreams don’t need a beginning.” – Jens Kruger

Choices in an sense continues where Up 18 North left off, and includes a number of covers along with some originals, including “Choices” and “Moon Over Switzerland.” There are a few great banjo instrumentals here, too, including a clawhammer version of “Angeline the Baker,” and a very distinctively Jens Kruger instrumental, “Mirjam.” Here too is Uwe’s beautiful take on the Doc Watson classic, “Black Mountain Rag.”

The Kruger Brothers are joined by The Kontras Quartet for a very special original work, commissioned to honor the region, history and legacy of Tennessee’s Roan Mountain.

A fabulous collection of 14 songs performed by The Kruger Brothers.

The Spirit of the Rockies is a poetic, spiraling tale about ghosts, relationships and guides – both seen and unseen. It is a story about love, spiritual legacy, the sharing of beauty, and the yearning for freedom from the restrictions of the mind. Jens believes that, “The precious value of beauty is always given from one heart to another.” That belief is what this work is about.

This collection includes tracks from the full breadth of their recording career, some from some time ago, such as “Cork Harbor” and “Alabama Bound,” and others very recent, such as “The Lights of Our Village” and a track new to this release, “People Get Ready.”

Arranged by Jens Kruger, Christmas Magic with the Kruger Brothers includes eleven Christmas favorites and an original Kruger Brothers’ composition, “The Lights in Our Village.” Each is executed with the incomparable virtuosity, flair, and honesty we’ve come to expect from the Kruger Brothers.

The recording that cemented the Kruger Brothers’ sound and song writing, Up 18 North, was released in 2002 on the Double Time label. Included were a number of tracks that signalled the direction that the band was to take in future projects. The title track “Up 18 North” is an instrumental piece, with banjo clearly in the foreground, that remains a prime example of the type of close ensemble playing that characterizes the trio’s work. The vocal track “Carolina in the Fall” is an early example of the very personal, resonant, and mature song writing that they continue to this day.
