Quality bluegrass. Love the song selection.
author: Gary Jennings
I've been looking for bluegrass that is done right with a traditional edge but isn't afraid to branch out. This is a CD that does that. I've not been to Chicago but it sounds like Chicago has a cool bluegrass scene. I love the fact that this band just doesn't emulate the bluegrass masters but also tackles musical giants like Hank Williams and the Grateful Dead, and they do it with energy and flawless picking. Big thumbs up on this CD.

They're doing the picking, I'm doing the grinning

I listened to the sound clips and bought the CD. It did not disappoint. These guys really can pick! I get razzed from my friends for listening to 'hillbilly music' but even they really dug it. I Know YOu Rider is way cool. So is Rawhide. They do some Hank Williams too.

fun album, leaves you wanting more

The first moments of this record pull you in with a banjo guitar and mandolin instrumental played at top finger-pickin' speed, and it isn't long before the haunting theme of "Molly Bean" is stuck in your head and you're truly disappointed to have it end. "Who's That Knockin' At My Door" is a great vocal, as is "Red Clay Halo." This is just a fun record that makes me want more.
