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 theyÕre 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 discÑCABIN OF LOVE and the powerful MEMORIES OF YOU. Well done.
