From glittering mountain and hammered dulcimer with mouth harp thrown in, to fun-loving, smile-inducing folkgrass, to soaring, John Denver-style country folk to a kicked back feel teetering on "Jimmy Buffet in Appalachia," there's a curiously catchy make-up to this blood-warming album- like a warm, wooly blanket thrown over the "Folk" genre. No matter which track happens to melt you and tug at your instincts, the sincerity and heart of the whole is unmistakable.

In my job I do some traveling on the road at times.  Listening to Soaring has been wonderful.  The songs keep flowing in my mind long after the trip is over and sometimes I just wish I could just travel to Colorado!  Thanks Steve!

ANYONE who likes the traditional and original songs of the hammered and mountain dulcimer will want to own a copy of Soaring.  Steve Eulberg weaves a personal sound with deep roots in instrumentals like Soaring, Lake Ozark Blues (blues dulcimer? yes, that's right he bends a mt. dulcimer string to get the flatted fifth), Simple Gifts, Reluctant Busboy, and the hauntingly beautiful Noel New-Velet. 

Steve's ability to write and perform great lyrics shines as brightly as his instrumental viruosity on this CD.  His words convincingly come right out of his life experiences and address important spiritual and social issues.  I particularly love Orphan Train, Uncle Jim's Song, and (6-String)Mail Order Bride, and Maquiladora; all original songs by Steve.  

I own about 4,000 albums, CDs, and tapes; and Soaring is definitely one of my favorites.

Soaring definitely lifts the spirits and keeps them in a heightened state of expectation!  Eulberg and friends continue to inspire with their wonderfully crafted music and warm, humorous lyrics.  In the beauty of this music, we are reminded of the complexity of our humanity and encouraged to take ourselves "just seriously enough."  What better result for musicians who clearly love what they do!
