notes
This cd by The Abrams Brothers shows the superb musicianship of all those involved in the making of this record. These guys play their instruments as if born to them, and the exceptional chemistry between the musicians is evident on each track. Each instrument and vocal dances hand in hand with one another, in perfect step and total harmony. The effect is a marvelous meshing of great skill, true beauty and some exceptionally hot pickin' throughout.
The album opens with the mournful but up-tempo " Think of What You've Done", brimming with tight harmonies and fine crisp playing. "Another Night" follows with a high, lonesome vocal lead and the theme of lost love.
" Glory to His Name " is a heart-felt, old time gospel at it's most passionate, with the prominent fiddle practically singing along for joy.
Soldier's Joy is for me the album's crown jewel, with sparkling instrumentation, hot fiddle playing and superb craftmanship by all.
Iron Sharpens Iron is a definite triumph, and if you like bluegrass in general, and hot playing specifically you can't go wrong by adding this to your collection.
