  • Unequalled.
    author: Paul Teter

    No one else can coax such beautifully harmonized complexity of sound from a mandolin.

  • EXCELLENT!! Found by accident, loved by choice.
    author: Doug Wakefield
  • A master not of then but NOW!
    author: Jack Gregorio

    You can't overhear two or more bluegrass fans talking about the mandolin without them mentioning Frank Wakefield. His playing on this cd is as great as any he has done, and that is meant as highest compliment. All the tunes he has written should become classics as his New Camptown Races has become.
