Bright Examples finds Guthrie and Irion taking their patented country- rock sound and tilting it in a direction Guthrie describes as "more atmospheric or psychedelic, sort of dreamy but colorful." Recorded at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, N.Y., the album features a dozen original compositions, chosen from more than 50 they'd accumulated over the past five years. Not only has the couple toured extensively both as a duo and as part of the "Guthrie Family Rides Again" tour (with Sarah Lee's dad, Arlo Guthrie), they've also released the children's album Go Waggaloo (Smithsonian Folkways), a live DVD entitled Folk Song, and a solo album by Johnny (Ex Tempore).
