Post Description

An excellent anthology from Claire Lynch's rich repertoire, plus four superb new recordings with her current killer band (Missy Raines, 7-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year; Jim Hurst, 2x IBMA Guitar Player; Jason Thomas from Kane's River on fiddle/mando -- monster pickers, all). The 8-minute version of "Wabash Cannonball" alone is worth the price of this CD, just to hear what these musicians can do when they stretch out. Some of the new recordings are of classic songs from Lynch's days with the Front Porch String Band.

Great bluegrass and more from this no-boundaries, genre-bending artist, with selections that showcase her superb songwriting talent as well as that magical, inimitable voice. (The frequent comparison to Emmylou Harris is a shorthand that misses the highly distinctive nature of each voice.) It's no wonder that she's been tapped to record with everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Dolly Parton to Ralph Stanley -- but it's as a lead vocalist that she really shines. As Parton has said, Lynch has "one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today."

You could safely give this CD to someone who doesn't much care for bluegrass, and you could equally safely give it to a diehard bluegrass fan. This collection is proof that, just sometimes, the crowd is right!
