The Rustical Quality String Band recorded its third album, "Back Cottage," in the summer of 2022. As they advance in age (and diminish in stature), members were determined to harness the skills of Rustical Quality heir apparent Oliver Bates Craven to produce and perform on the album. The album represents a collection of long-time crowd pleasers, as well as original material by Oliver, Karen, and Tim. It was recorded at Mick Smyer's home in Eagles Mere, PA, where a small cottage graces the back of the property. This cottage is featured in a tune by Oliver, in the album artwork, and in the name of the recording itself.
