Lots of talent here in this young group in their second album, a nicely produced record that highlights the playing of Zeb Snyder (guitar) and his sister Samantha (fiddle). The dozen tracks on the disc include 6 instrumentals and 4 gospel songs, with all of the material original. In addition to his flat picking, Zeb includes one slide guitar tune and one fingerstyle piece. The gospel songs are settled and sung nicely by Samantha, with Zeb contributing harmony parts. LISTEN TO HIS WORD is a good example of the gospel numbers. The 6 instrumentals range from the very nice FOLKSTON to the overly flashy BLOCKADE RUNNER --a flashy barrage of notes and multiple chord changes with no melody. Rounding out the group are the father Bud on acoustic bass, and mother Laine who helps with the harmony vocals.
