Some of the tastiest claw-hammer banjo picking I have ever heard. Great tone and syncopation along with lovely arrangements. Emory Lester, as usual, provides clean, toneful mandolin and guitar playing. New takes on standard fiddle tunes and wonderful arrangements of others make this CD one of my top-drawer bluegrass faves. Absolutely love it.
Top notch virtuosity and artistry.

If you appreciate fine "down-home" acoustic music, you will want this album. The technical virtuosity and musical artistry demonstrated on this album are top-notch. My personal favorites are the pure instrumentals, which comprise the majority of the selections. Down To The River To Pray is a classic interpretation and performance.
A near-perfect blend of musical passions for original, deep-rooted bluegrass.

Mark and Emory continue to push the boundaries of modern bluegrass music. At the same time, their compositions glow with respect for the tradition that inspires them. There are very few musicians in the Country Music world that play with the level of quality these two gentlemen exhibit on this ablum. If you have never heard a clawhammer banjo, you owe it to yourself to listen to Mark's work on this disc. And Emory is a virtuoso on mandolin and guitar. Enjoy!
WOW...very good
