Again, Mary Z has put together another great CD. The mix along with the use of diffent instruments makes a great listening CD. The use of banjo strung with nylon strings produces an old-time sound that creates a musical picture that sounds as if it was recorded 80 years ago. I also purchased the tab from Mary Z directly to learn some of the tunes my self.

Now days... many folks think of galloping Bluegrass breakdowns when banjo comes to mind. However, Mary Z. Cox through this, and her other efforts (all available at CD Baby), present another side of the instrument.  Mellower yet still exciting, she along with her cadre of excellent supporting musicians, take us back to an earlier time... while also being 21st century modern.   Invest in Banjo Dreamin' Suwannee Nights, and treat yourself to a relaxing  river ride... on a raft of sweet melodies.
