high quality talent with the pickin' boys--you've secretly had some great music lessons at some point in your lives. Don't worry, I won't let on to your fans at your live concerts. 

Keep making that old bluegrass music--it keeps me connected with my Celtic roots...

I heard them on NPR, prairie home companion and knew I had to have their cd. Love the sound and their creativity. Awesome for those who like the old time bluegrass sound.

"Needle & Thread" is an important step forward for Pert' Near Sandstone and shows that the band can do more than expertly channel standard bluegrass numbers.  To use an apt analogy, Pert' Near sews together a patchwork of diverse sounds, that when viewed individually or as a whole, simply works.  There are mandolin-backed ballads (Corsican Lady), catchy toe-tappers(Needle & Thread), a reggae-bluegrass fusion number (Just One Day), and my personal favorite, "Colored Aristocracy", which is an explosion of instrumental rhythm driven by twin fiddles.  

I hear that the initial pressing is limited, so get it while it is still in stock.  This album is absolutely worth it.
