Fantastic

Every once in a while, a bluegrass album comes out that transcends the genre. Lots of people try, but it is hard to create truly fresh "newgrass". Coincidentally, Bela Fleck seems to be on most of these elusive albums! Maybe it's a sign. This CD follows in the footsteps of the Telluride Sessions, Appalachian Waltz and Appalachian Journey, and also Uncommon Ritual. But instead of a bluegrass and classical blend, this album takes a more traditional americana bluegrass feel and mixes it with a hint of MMW-like jazz song structures and even Chinese folk songs. This is fitting since this group played a lot in China, and Abigail has spent a long time studying Chinese folk tunes. The sound quality is awesome, with each instrument sparkling. Ben Sollee on cello and Casy Driessen on fiddle are also incredible; check out their solo albums. The true test of this formula is: Well all this sounds good but is this new mix of styles listenable and truly good music? The answer is a resounding YES.

One of the best albums I have now!!!!!

The music is just amazing. Such a great combination of bango, violin and cello. The album is definitely in a league of its owns. This is a must buy album.

Delightful collection of songs and talented musicians

Abigail Washburn, Bela Fleck, Casey Driessen, and Ben Sollee present some amazing music. I was impressed with the style and sound of every song. Even the Chinese stuff was enjoyable. Not my everyday stuff, but a welcome departure from cookie cutter music that generally is put out today. I am happy with the album purchase and recommend it highly.
