Magic Fire Vinyl Record

Magic Fire builds on the success of The Stray Birdsí 2014 Yep Roc debut, Best Medicine, which was hailed by NPRís World CafÈ for its ìstrong harmonies and sharp songwritingî and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart. Guitar World praised their ìheartfelt creativity,î while the Philadelphia City Paper called the band ìstunning,î and Mountain Stage applauded their singular ability to ìsuccessfully draw on the rich traditions of American folk music while still sounding modern.î It was that unique formula that first brought them national attention and fueled their breakout in 2012, when their self-titled/self-released debut landed amongst NPRís Top Ten Folk/Americana Albums of the Year and earned them major festival performances everywhere from MerleFest to Scotlandís Celtic Connections. When it came time to record Magic Fire, The Stray Birds knew they were ready to take an ambitious step. They retreated to Milan Hill, New York, a small town outside of Woodstock in the Hudson River Valley, and teamed up with Larry Campbell. The three-time GRAMMY Award-winning producer (best known for his work with luminaries like Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Paul Simon, and Willie Nelson) enlisted his preferred engineer, Justin Guip (another three-time GRAMMY Award-winner who worked closely with the late Helm), and the group spent ten days together joyously exploring and creating the music that would become Magic Fire.
