PETER ROWAN & NASHVILLE BLUEGRASS BAND 'New Moon Rising'
A top-notch recording from Rowan, who seems very comfortable here with the superb ultra-traditional accompaniment of the fine Nashville Bluegrass Band. Not many writers or musicians can come up with an album that is almost entirely made up of self-penned originals and make it work, but Rowan has done it here: 8 of the 10 songs are his and they're good. I especially liked MEADOW GREEN, TRAIL OF TEARS and THAT HIGH LONESOME SOUND. Two Bill Monroe pieces complete the album and they are as strong as anything on the disc --CABIN OF LOVE and the powerful MEMORIES OF YOU. Well done.
