Singing has been a bugaboo for many of the younger musicians who have taken to Old Time music in the past couple of decades, but that is certainly not the case with Bruce Molsky. He is one powerful, dynamic singer with a great voice, and this new record of his is filled with good songs as well as wonderful instrumental work. In addition to his fine fiddling, he shows his prowess on old time banjo on 5 excellent pieces: NEW CUT ROAD, JOHNNY BOOGER, CUMBERLAND GAP, SALLY ANN, and SHADY GROVE. But perhaps the real gems of the album are three songs on which Molsky features finger style guitar: KENTUCKY BLUES, BIMINI GAL and a really lovely THE COWBOY. We Highly recommended this disc to all those who appreciate this fine artist.
