Not Bluegrass
Wolf Mann | The Pacific Northwest | 10/05/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)
"This album calls itself a bluegrass tribute, but it isn't bluegrass. At best, it's country unplugged with only acoustic instruments. I was disappointed in that every song on the album sounds like every other song on the album. And all the songs are ballads. There are no hard-driving bluegrass songs here at all. Bluegrass is all about the "high lonesome sound" (at least, according to Bill Monroe, who invented the genre) but there isn't any high lonesome harmony on the album. Call it country if you want, but don't call it bluegrass."
