Review

The genesis of this stellar tradition-minded bluegrass sextet goes back to a 1994 festival in North Carolina, when Dudley Connell, James King, and Don Rigsby sang together for the first time and gave each other goose bumps on the Stanley Brothers' "The Angels Are Singing in Heaven Tonight." A few weeks later in Ohio, Connell had a similar epiphany with Glen Duncan and Joe Mullins, and so for a week in December 1995, those five established and experienced veterans grabbed bassist Marshall Wilborn and hunkered down at Long View Farm in Massachusetts. This wonderful record is the result of their mission to dip into the soul of bluegrass tradition, and it is a remarkable vocal showcase. Whether on hard-charging burners or heartfelt ballads, sacred or secular, there is a purity of intent that immediately shines through. Being "on vacation" from their regular gigs allowed these six musicians to relax, open their hearts, and let the music come to them. They may not be well known enough to be accurately billed a "supergroup," but they are without doubt a super group--with the emphasis on group. --Marc Greilsamer
