In over ten years as one of the premier contemporary Bluegrass bands in the country, Blue Highway has maintained an exceptionally high standard, both in its playing and in its choice of material. This re-issue combines some of the very best of the band's first three albums --all recorded for the Rebel label. When you distill the best of the best you end up with something very special, and that's what this budget line package is, with one gem after another. Wayne Taylor, Shawn Lane and Tim Stafford all contribute superb vocals on songs like IN THE GRAVEL YARD, BETWEEN THE ROWS, BEFORE THE COLD WIND BLOWS, BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN GIRL, IT'S A LONG LONG ROAD and the wonderful a cappella hymn SOME DAY. Rob Ickes great dobro work provides the contemporary edge that has made this group a favorite with lovers of both traditional and modern Bluegrass. A great re-issue, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
