THE IMMIGRANT BAND
We can always count on fine old-time music from the Asheville based YODELAHEE label, and this superb 14 track album is no exception --this is great old time music in every respect. The musicians here include Rafe and Clelia Stefanini, John Doyle, and John Hermann -- that's enough to tell the experienced listener he/she will be in for a real treat. The group has picked out an excellent mixture of songs and tunes, and credits them properly. A variety of different instrument combinations is employed to very good effect. There is nothing weak on the album, but the following cuts are especially fine: JENNY ON THE RAILROAD, HOG EYED MAN, BLIND STEER, WILLIE MOORE, LITTLE BIRD, and a powerful WASHINGTON'S MARCH & BLACK SNAKE BIT ME medley. A GREAT recording here that we will come back to many times!.
