[It's not apparent that there is actually any klezmer tune on the album, but
the description of Wayfaring Strangers' upcoming debut album includes the
word "klezmer" and Andy Statman is in the group..... -- sr]

Wayfaring Strangers
Shifting Sands of Time
Rounder 116 610 484-2
Street Date: August 7, 2001
Every once in a while, an album comes along that challenges our
expectations, our assumptions about the way music is made. The Wayfaring
Strangers can take your breath away moment by moment, passage by passage, as
strands of jazz, bluegrass, old-time country, folk, klezmer and more
intertwine and give way to one another in a powerfully unique fusion. Not
for those who demand that their music be comfortably predictable, Shifting
Sands of Time is hauntingly new, like a dream mingling the past and the
present, the known and the unknown into something that can touch our deepest
emotions.
