Album Notes

This cd by The Abrams Brothers shows the superb musicianship of all those involved in the making of this record. These guys play their instruments as if born to them, and the exceptional chemistry between the musicians is evident on each track. Each instrument and vocal dances hand in hand with one another, in perfect step and total harmony. The effect is a marvelous meshing of great skill, true beauty and some exceptionally hot pickin' throughout.
The album opens with the mournful but up-tempo " Think of What You've Done", brimming with tight harmonies and fine crisp playing. "Another Night" follows with a high, lonesome vocal lead and the theme of lost love.

" Glory to His Name " is a heart-felt, old time gospel at it's most passionate, with the prominent fiddle practically singing along for joy.
Soldier's Joy is for me the album's crown jewel, with sparkling instrumentation, hot fiddle playing and superb craftmanship by all.
Iron Sharpens Iron is a definite triumph, and if you like bluegrass in general, and hot playing specifically you can't go wrong by adding this to your collection.

Great album. I have seen the Abrams Brothers literally blow away the competition in Salemburg, NC (Laurel Lakes Music Park & Campground). They can definitely "run with the big dogs" and the MERLEFEST hierachy need to take notice if they expect me and my "kin" to return after a 2 year break (attended 8 consecutive years). If the Abrams Brothers (& family etc.) are booked, we will be there! Archie (Bubba) Archambault. PS See "all ya'll" in April at Laurel Lakes.

One of the best young duets in Bluegress to come along in a long long time. They are both super musicians and put on a very professional show.
