Summary: Angels, yes indeed!! Sweetest sounds in Bluegrass 2003-10-29
Comment: It's really about time the women got their due. For many years men seemed to dominate bluegrass music, but with the resurgence caused by "O-Brother.." and "Down From The Mountain", the ladies are making their way to front and center.
Several years before, I saw Claire Lynch and her Front Porch Sting Band at a Georgia bluegrass Festival at Hillside bluegrass park in Cochran, GA. I met her afterword, and my first comment to her was "you sing like an angel". So do the rest of the ladies, and you will really enjoy this CD, as well as the "O Sister" CDs.

Summary: An anthology that wears well, very well 2003-05-26
Comment: This collection begins with an old standard by the Cox Family setting a familar tone which is quickly broken. "Wayfaring Stranger" is the only other standard Gospel number but its execution with a bluesy clarinet is anything but standard; bluegrass clarinet works splendidly. Hazel Dickens provides a mother/memory piece in "Faded Pressed Rose" - she delivers an intensely emotional piece without ever sounding sacchrine. The Stevens Sisters' bluesy rendition of "In My Time of Dying" balances death and faith in well balanced close harmony. And OlaBelle Reed cuts us all down to size in a riveting performance of "Six Feet of Earth Makes Us All of One Size".This anthology provides the high quality variety that allows one's favorite to change with each change in your mood, providing a good introduction to several of Rounder's bluegrass women.
