"This solo project will attest to his ability with the banjo. He has made himself into a fine player. He has all the basic "licks" plus some originality, and he learns very quickly. When combined, these ingredients will create a style..one which you, the listener and player, will recognize as soon as he begins playing".

Sonny Osborne 9-16-2006

"Among our finest young banjoists, East Tennessess's Daniel Grindstaff, looks to the past for his inspiration, but brings personality and a fresh approach to bluegrass. He's Popping the strings one moment, coaxing out an emotive turn the next. With cracking guest vocals, Grindstaff demonstrates that he's a player of determination and character. "Aprils Fool" artfully captures his vision of bluegrass."

  • I Irish jigged and zig-zagged all night long..

    Gloryland is award winning. Fiddler's timing is genius, add more whining solos with 6 finger picking. Contact me when you record I'll Fly Away, Unclouded Day, Turn Your Radio On, etc.

  • If you're only gonna buy 1 cd, THIS is it!!!

    This CD is an incredible mix of instrumental bluegrass. I love the fact that it has so many songs that have not been over-recorded and the CD title is great. I think this CD is one that any bluegrass fan should have in their collection! I hope to see MANY more CD's come from this artist. WONDERFUL Album!!!!
