Traditional string band music performed with power and finesse by some of today’s best musicians!
"That's how string band music is supposed to sound... absolutely effortless... Boy, if we imported these people off to Minnesota, they would be enormous stars, they'd be driving around in black limos and they'd be heroes. They're just a great band - I love this band called Big Medicine!"
~Garrison Keillor, from the stage of A Prairie Home Companion
“If you know Big Medicine, then you know strong, grounded, heart-felt old-time music. Now they’re back with new songs that draw bluegrass music right in with the old-time vibe. Great stuff from some great players!”
~Bruce Molsky
“Big Medicine, out of North Carolina, plays old-time music like a bluegrass band, or maybe it's bluegrass like an old-time band...Their music is definitely in the traditional old-time vein, but they bring each piece to life as though it is their own original creation.”
~Bill Martin

I'm relatively unfamiliar with this music and although attracted to it I have, until recently, not been too sure where to get started. I picked on this collection having heard a snatch of Big Medicine while laying a new floor. They sounded good then, although I guess any distraction would have been welcome, so I bought Pine to Pine on spec. It's terrific! It's been on almost permanently in the car and it's convinced me that I have to have more and find out more - excellent CD - well done guys!
