Although she withdrew from the national scene three decades ago, Dede Wyland remains the favorite female vocalist of a lot of top level bluegrass players. That's why people like Laurie Lewis, Mike Mumford, Dudley Connell, to name just a few, back her on the bluegrass album of the year. Dede presents all the power and range (check out "Cannonball Yodel") of her glorious voice. To imagine doing Joni Mitchell's plaintive B-side "Urge for Going" as hard driving bluegrass is remarkable; to pull it off this well is genius. Not just recommended, this is essential listening for any bluegrass fan.
