John Stetch Ukrainianism

John Stetch has devoted this solo record to his roots in Ukrainian folk music. (And it's not the first time he's done this.) On Ukrainianism, he takes simple melodies and adopts them as his own, interpreting them through a complex and ever-evolving web of sound. At times these tunes are more Stetch than Ukraine, but at others they beam directly from Eastern Europe with rootsy melody.
