A lovely collection of songs beautifully sung & played by this Indiana band led by Tony Holt. Disciples of the Boys From Indiana, the band features almost all new material, but they play in a classic first generation style. The current band is aided by the addition of David Long, who plays a fine Monroe-style mandolin. Vocally & instrumentally the arrangements are smooth but solid, with Tony Holt's marvelous, distinctive voice leading the way. His treatment of THE WAY I AM, FOREVER TRUE, JEREMIAH CALLAHAN'S MEDICINE SHOW and I'M NOT THE DRIFTER are really wonderful. Though the group continues to pick up many loyal new fans, the low-key Wildwood Valley Boys probably remain one of the best-kept secrets in Bluegrass. Great stuff! WHEN YOU ARE LONELY, SWEET LORETTA, BIG MAN FROM ROSINE, etc.
