I stumbled across it and really enjoy it .... . and, no, it's not just because we have the same last name!
I purchased this CD last year and took it with me when I went on deployment to the Arabian Gulf. On Sept. 11th, my ship went on high alert, and we went several weeks of long days with no port calls (or even plans for them). I must have listened to the CD 200 times in three months. One particular track, entitled "Another Day", about patience and faith, helped me to get through that long, hard period keeping (most of) my wits about me. Thanks.

Great old-fashioned, country-tinged bluegrass... :-)
Wow! What a stunner. . !! These Texas fellas have the old-style bluegrass sound down so well that when this disc starts belting out your speakers, you might do a double-take wondering if you bought an old Flatt & Scruggs album or some old Bill Monroe by accident. No fooling -- they're really that good, and they have that old-time sound. Recording through vintage equipment explains part if it, but how *anyone* in this day and age can sound so durn authentic is still pretty impressive! If you like the traditional, driving classic sound of late-'40s bluegrass, then you owe it to yourself to check these guys out!.
A Must Have..
Listening to this CD was a joy, to say the least. Some things just can't be described in words, they have to experienced and this is very true regarding this CD. The only thing better than this CD, is seeing them perform in person. They have captured the spirit of all the many past great legends in bluegrass and rolled them up into one fantastic package, then sprinkled it with their own spirit. This is not a CD you just listen to, you actually experience it. Don't miss it. ST.
