Farmhouse (Stars So Bright)

Double vinyl LP pressing of Farmhouse, Phish's ninth full-length studio album. The majority of songs on the album, including the title track, were derived from 1997 writing sessions at Vermont farmhouses. 'Farmhouse' was recorded and mixed by John Siket in fall 1999 and winter 2000 at The Barn studio in Vermont. Trey arranged the horns for "Gotta Jibboo" (Dave Grippo, Jen Hartswick, Andy Moroz) and strings for "Dirt" and the acoustic instrumental "The Inlaw Josie Wales", which included Béla Fleck on banjo and Jerry Douglas on dobro. 'Farmhouse' was originally mastered by Bob Ludwig and released by Elektra May 16, 200. The single "Heavy Things" charted after being previewed live from Big Cypress on ABC's New Year's Eve 1999 millennium coverage. The instrumental "First Tube" was nominated for a Grammy, and the album went on to be certified Gold.
