Fine music and playing
As its name suggests, this is an album of bluegrass music
where the fiddle is strongly to the fore throughout. It's well played and enjoyable, although I
find that a few tracks at a time are enough.
Corrina Rose Logston is a very fine player indeed. She has delved into some of the less well-known
parts of the bluegrass repertoire, which makes for an album with a very
traditional feel which I like a lot. Her
band of guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass play excellently, most of the time in
a support role but with the occasional lead sound which shows what fine
musicians they all are. There are just
two vocal numbers (I Don't Blame You and Foggy Mountain Top) in which Logston
does a good singing job, too.
My only reservation about this disc is that in spite of the
variety of waltzes, hornpipes, reels and so on, I find an entire album of fiddle
music just a bit much. However, in
smaller chunks it's just great and you may not share my personal
reservations. Certainly it's an album of
enjoyable music, excellently played by very good musicians and I can recommend
it.
