"It's always a pleasure to be introduced to an excellent traditional fiddler, and New England's Laura Risk fits the bill. To my knowledge, I had never heard her name before this CD arrived at my doorstep, but if the Fates are kind and the music industry is wise, I'll hear a lot more from her in the future.The performance on 16 tracks -- more than an hour of tunes -- combines the feel of a classical recital with an undeniable exuberance in the music. Risk's fiddle dances through the music like a live thing, and you can't help but wonder if her nimble fingers have ever missed a note. Her playing is emotional, sincere, gorgeous."
