About the Album

ABOUT THE ALBUM “Twang,” an 8-song country EP from Carla Ulbrich, is a fun mix of hot picking, smart songwriting and dry wit, with tongue-in-cheek toe-tappers like “Is It Hot Enough For Ya?” and “Stop Tryin’ to Bring on the Apocalypse.” This album features some of the hottest players in the biz: 15-time IBMA Dobro Player of the Year Rob Ickes, 4-time Grammy winner Andy Leftwich on fiddle, Erik Halbig on electric guitar, Bob Harris (producer/engineer, bass and lap steel), and Bob Malone on piano.
