notes

Michael Huebner -- The Birmingham News

As fine a tunesmith, banjoist and guitarist as Larry Unger is, the other half of Notorious stole the show at the duo's set at Music Oasis.
Eden MacAdam-Somer is a remarkable musician. Violinist, fiddler (there's a difference), Appalachian flat-footed clogger and vocalist, she bowed, plucked and danced up a storm, Unger contributing harmony, rhythm, musical ambiance and style.
And style there was -- in abundance. A Scots-Irish jig, ragtime, blues, klezmer -- you name it, MacAdam-Somer has mastered it, and Unger hung on for the ride. Heartrending vocals poured through "All Night Long" and a Jewish wedding song. Singing and fiddling at the sametime is her specialty, but her rendition of a Vaughan-Williams piece for soprano and violin was truly extraordinary.


A Review
by Nathan Sanders, Stringband.com
Notoriously exquisite music would be my initial reaction to the music of Notorious, otherwise known as Larry Unger and Eden MacAdam-Somer....


LIVING TRADITION

If performing with any lesser musician, Eden's fiery and florid pyrotechnics might well threaten to overwhelm the exciting guitar fretwork, but this never happens with Larry and Notorious.


Florida concert booker:

Together, they put on a performance unlike any other. Highly recommended, three thumbs up............


Hartford CT reviewer:


Larry Unger and Eden MacAdam-Somer demonstrated themselves to be musicians and entertainers of the highest caliber. I hope that we'll see more of these guys.

  • Another winner!

    Eden MacAdam-Somer and Larry Unger and friends have done it again! This is a superb CD, featuring Eden's virtuoso fiddle/violin playing and rich voice, and Larry's incredible guitar playing. This group plays a variety of styles, all wonderfully. If you're wondering where to start, listen to Romanian Train Song, then go to Dodi Li and I guarantee you'll want to hear all the rest. And if you ever have a chance to hear this group live, as I did at NEFFA 2008, don't miss it!

  • Great CD

    The first Notorious CD has been one of my favorites ever since I got it over a year ago, and this new one is every bit as good, if not better. Incredible talent!
