This is the first release off my new album with Victor Furtado on banjo, and Cristina Vane singing harmony. Lazy John is one of the most barebones tracks on the album with just banjo, vocals, fiddle, and feet. The rest of the album will feature a full stringband including Tyler Andal on guitar and my husband Evan Winsor on bass."

Lazy John" is very stripped down, with the footwork tucked just under the sound banjo. I recorded my footwork using very unusual footwear: Tom's sandals. Everyone knows the loud clackety clack sound that I make using my usual harness boots. The sandals changed the texture into a gritty, shuffle sound like what you'd hear from a snare drum played with brushes. The sound enhances the song with a chill and mellow vibe, contrary to what you'd normally hear from my dancing, which can be very loud and obnoxious. I'm very proud to have recorded the dance in a way that sonically fits the song, and I can't wait for folks to hear my dancing in a new context.
