MUST OWN
author: Road Warrior
First off, I received this CD as a gift from someone who saw the band live. I was underwhelmed because I don't care much for bluegrass music and I tossed it aside. My wife was cleaning up one day and put the CD in my travel case (I spend a lot of time on the road). On a trip one day I played the CD out of curiosity. I'll be honest and tell you that I didn't linger too long on the old timey stuff at first (like the first track). But the disk has a variety of styles (the next cut is a blues number) and the quality of the musicianship and especially the singing blew me away. I guess you have to hand it to anyone this talented, even if you're not really drawn to the category of music they play. And some of the music on this disk is not bluegrass at all. The title cut is more "rockabilly" and the last song, "In the Hollow of Your Hand" should probably be called a "pop" number (it's my favorite on the disk). Anyway, I've called the person who gave me the CD to thank them. It's become one of my most-played CDs.

My dad sent this to me because I make him listen to MY music and he said turn about was fair play. I play this album all the time now and so does everybody in my dorm. You gotta hear it to believe it.

Totally different. . .in a good way!

I have the passing thru album and was helping my mom download it from itunes when I noticed this new album! A more organic sound from the last disk but quite a wide range of styles on one CD from almost pop country, to classic bluegrass to acoustic blues. Very enjoyable.

Too hip for the (Indiana festival) room...

I'm not a Gospel Music fan. Especially not a BLUEGRASS Gospel fan. This CD, however is not only "out of he box," it's actually hip. Forget the "Hee Haw" gene that's infected the bluegrass equivialent of the devout civil war re-enactors – this is great, artistic, iconoclastic stuff. Get it, and you'll fly away!
