Yo-Yo Ma follows up his Gold-Certified SONGS OF JOY AND PEACE with a landmark Americana album project. In the tradition of APPALACHIAN JOURNEY and OBRIGADO BRAZIL, Yo-Yo Ma once again embraces styles and traditions that go beyond classical music by bringing together four American string virtuosos and creating a new kind of chamber ensemble. THE GOAT RODEO SESSIONS is a landmark album project which uniquely showcases cellist Yo-Yo Ma, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolin player Chris Thile, with special guest vocalist, Aoife O'Donovan on two tracks.
