Winter's Turning
author: Susan TrudeauI'd intended to write a review of this album over a year ago, when I first bought it, but was prevented by a medical mishap, and long recovery, but now I can--There aren't kind words enough to describe how joyful, hopeful, and loving John and Heidi's music is, and how it has uplifted and inspired me. This album was my introduction to them, but I intend to buy all eventually. I'm sorry your ratings go up to to 5 stars--it deserves a 10! Thank you!!!! I hope there will be many more.

...and 1/2 ... Sensitivity to nuance fills the music with just the right amount
author: Joe RossPlaying Time – 66:17 -- This generous album of over an hour’s worth of traditional music features some beautiful harmony singing and a variety of acoustic instruments. This relaxing set equitably offers ten instrumentals and ten vocals. From Connecticut, John and Heidi Cerrigione understand the importance of leaving space in their music in order for it to breathe. Using autoharp, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, guitar, banjo, piano, accordion, and bass, they develop a delicate sense of balance. It is their sensitivity to nuance that fills their music with just the right amount of tone, volume, rhythm and tension. That is best explanation as to why this celebration of song is so successful. Study the way that John and Heidi use sonic colors to produce various feelings on their canvas. While the project could have been enhanced with more moderate tempo’ed pieces (like “Featherbed” and “Bim chlinne Fochsli”) for added diversity and contrast, “Winter’s Turning” is still a sound painting of very special quality. Referring to their repertoire as a “simple brand of old-time acoustic music,” they are actually modest song carriers who are playing a large part in keeping the music of a bygone era vibrant and alive.
