Review
From the Stanleys and the Louvins through the Everlys, Whites, and McCourys, familial harmonies form a bluegrass bloodline. This family band from Springfield, Missouri, extends the lineage, emphasizing the vocal blend of brothers John, Jeremy, and Jason Chapman over instrumentation that includes their banjoist father Bill, along with stellar guest support from fiddlers Stuart Duncan and Aubrey Haynes, guitarist Ron Block (of Alison Krauss's Union Station), and Dobroist Rob Ickes. Ballads and bittersweet tales of lost love dominate the Chapmans' first release in four years, with guitarist John's reedy tenor providing the plaintive lead vocal amid soaring harmonies that highlight "The Photograph" and "Sometimes You Just Can't Win." Like so many within the emerging generation of bluegrass artists, the Chapmans sidestep the showoff strain of technical virtuosity as they employ instrumental arrangements that enhance the song rather than overpower it. Yet the instrumental romp through the playful "Pickle Flavored Ice Cream" and the rousing finale of Jimmy Martin's "You'll Be a Lost Ball" show that they can really air it out when the situation warrants. --Don McLeese
