In their fourth album as a band, Steve Kaul and the Brass Kings have not only expanded as a band, but their sound has also taken on some new elements. Fiddler Jillian Rae is the latest addition to the band, and during the recording of "Machine" several other local musicians have joined in to add to the quartet's solid "West Bank stomp" sound.
