"It is hard to remember how unusual these performances were thirty-something years ago -- since the novelty of these ideas has worn off by now, and the chops of the players set a standard that others on the newgrass scene reached. But beyond innovation and technique, the music on this CD is refreshingly alive, exuberant, and full of feeling. All in all, these early Barenberg / Trishka / Statman / Wernick / Kosek / Miller / Martin tracks represent an American musical milestone, and one that has stood the test of time!"
