In August 2023, the Hillbilly Thomists retreated to a cabin in the Catskill Mountains to record their fourth and most recent studio album of original music, Marigold.

Continuing to draw from the vivid cultural and spiritual landscape of the band’s unofficial patron, Flannery O’Connor, who coined the phrase “hillbilly Thomist,” the friars have put together an album that’s at once old and new, rooted in the rich soil of traditional American music and blossoming into a lyrical meditation on life’s enduring trials and beauty.
