Reviews: BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED Magazine July 2005... “ This is 45 minutes plus of delightful string band music. John Balch is a clawhammer player, but hold on, this music is as close to newgrass as it is old-time. Jack Pearson's mandolin and Shad Cobb's fiddle don't go anywhere Balch's banjo can't go. This makes for one fine musical journey... If you like your music more muscular than the gift store variety but still sensitive and full of creative energy, this project will fill your needs. If you do not like that "one tune" the old-time players always play, but you like fiddle music, this one is for you. If you are a fan of the new mandolin music with its sweet jazzy edge, you will find plenty to please you here. If you think that old time clawhammer banjo is boring, you haven't heard this recording. This one is a keeper…” Click Here For Full Review www.cdBaby.com Hot club du America! Reviewer: Frans Schoonen When I heard this Music (M!) on NPR, my Dutch heart went mery. I think this is hot club du America! To make it possible to hear all songs on this site is also very friendly. High class! Frans most excellent Reviewer: V. Perdue The best mountain music I've heard in a long time. Just can't stop listening to it. From www.banjohangout.org: “My wife gave me this CD for Father's Day and I've been tapping my feet to it and grinning ever since I first stuck it in to listen. Lots of excellent banjo, guitar, fiddle, bass and mandolin music - great stuff. Most of it is original music written by John himself with a few traditional pieces that blend seamlessly in - and then there's a piece with vocals that is truly inspiring. Great CD John!” “I ordered this one up from Elderly last week and just had to resurrect this thread. This is a GREAT album. Honestly--and you clawhammer players should understand what kind of compliment this is--this has … become my new favorite "progressive" clawhammer cd. If you want to hear the sort of crazy stuff that's possible on an open-back, pick this up.” Recent eBay feedback: Wow! This CD is so cool, and it even shows the tunings used!! Thanks! This music isn't just music to my ears - its music to my heart. ++ Carried me away. Great CD. Many thanks John. CD is too good! I didn't want to stop listening to type this feedback! Thanks Great music, do another cd soon. |
