it is.

What a great album! It just blows my mind what a wide range of sounds that clawhammer banjo can be! Bob and Carolee is a great upbeat fun song (featuring two of the happiest instruments: banjo & ukelele). Coleman's March is wonderful, the cello banjo's low sounds can compete with any rap song's bass, and it's fun to play (the tab's in the Banjo Newsletter). 1st String Fling is really catchy too. It's all good, what more can I say?
