A RIPPLE IN TIME (2001)
Tiller's Folly

Voted "Best Acoustic Ensemble CD of 2001-2003" by The Indie Acoustic Project, A Ripple In Time captures Tiller's Folly in transition, not only in the personnel of the group but also in the artistic vision. A Ripple In Time is expertly produced by Laurence Knight, and expands the group's ever broadening palette to include elements of Bluegrass and Rock music. Songs of the Pacific Northwest still fill a large part of the subject matter but not exclusively.
