SPRING 2009: In a small town called Steventon, just south of Oxford in the United Kingdom, Brooklyn songwriter / principal heretic Jason Sebastian Russo and a constituency of british pop talent hauled several half-tuned guitars, myriad scraps of rusty metal and a piano with a knee-high flood watermark into a cow barn on the Truck Family farm, to record an album which would come to be known as Common Prayer.
