Here's another of those fine young groups who seem to be popping up all over the country these days (this brother & sister team is from North Carolina). 16-year old Zeb Snyder is already a crackerjack flat pick guitarist who can hold his own with just about any picker today. 12-year old Samantha already plays fiddle well, and does most of the singing --she is already a competent singer, but will likely be that much stronger by the time this CD is a year or two old. Father Bud (bass) and mother Laine (harmony vocals), help in creating more of a full band sound, but the spotlight is definitely on Zeb and Samantha. The duo's instrumentals are the standouts here, with impressive versions of CATTLE IN THE CANE, RED HAIRED BOY, FADED LOVE, BILL CHEATHEM, STEEL GUITAR RAG and STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN. Samantha's mature, solid lead vocal on HEAVEN'S BRIGHT SHORE is also a highlight.
