notes

Blue Plate Special's newest CD is a tasteful variety of styles. Listen to a mix of mandolin, accordion, banjo, acoustic bass, guitar and strong vocals. Their witty original songs move smoothly from Bluegrass to Cajun to Swing. Three part vocal harmonies, strong instrumental solos and crisp arrangements are featured on this new CD Nowhere Fast. In addition to critical acclaim, two songs from "Nowhere Fast" have been included on nationally televised documentaries. The title cut, "Nowhere Fast" is featured on the recent PBS documentary, "The Appalachians", and "Bluebird of Happiness" is included on the History Channel documentary "Into the Fire".

    A truly unique and original feeling from this CD. Warms my feet as they touch the ground, as another band put it years ago. Truly refreshing!!

    Bluegrass Unlimited called Nowhere Fast "unique and thoroughly entertaining"

  • I felt happy listening to it
    author: Irma

    Well done - I really love the songs!

  • author: Jeff Anzavino Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association

    The CD provides a dozen all-original songs with everything a listener could ask for: tight vocal harmonies, complex arrangements, hot picking, and unique instrumentation, all combining to result in a great sound. Goin Nowhere Fast? I doubt it. These guys are going places soon.

    Blue Plate Special makes music the old-fashioned way- acoustically. This string band from the Jersey side plays country swing, new grass and Cajun contemporary, and it even has the big banjos to stir up the polka pot.

    author: Claudia Thornton

    This CD is another collection of "not a bad tune on it" originals!! Such diversity in style, sounds, moods and messages - I am a true fan. My current two favorite songs are "Joe Ida" and "Grandma Loved Lily of the Valley".

    author: Don Dexter

    Blue Plate is diverse and they blend together fabulously. A superb mix with lots of variety and excellent sound quality. Along with strong musicianship, their songs are clear and tell entertaining stories. I have seen them perform and this recording has the feel of their very together live act. I strongly recommend this CD and seeing them live. They're the real deal!

  • Memorable melodies with outstanding musicianship....
    author: Brad Vercoutere

    Great tunes from start to finish....Every song unique in it's own way with catchy melodies and clever lyrics. Nice song variety with contributions from every band member. A real "feel good" experience...I'm still smiling....

  • Loved it. Great original tunes, fine musicianship and hot singing
    author: Dusty Rhodes

    Check out this new band from New Jersey. You'll be hearing more from them. Feel like I'm listening to an old Beatles album- plenty of variety in terms of style, but it works. If you ever wondered what the lovechild of Dan Hicks and Gillian Welch would sound like, check out Nowhere Fast.
