| If you don't love bluegrass before listening to this cd, you will once you've heard it. Every single song sounds perfect to me, and they just get better the more you listen. I'll never get tired of hearing these songs, and also love the playlist order. The cd ends with the incomparable Allison Krauss and "Jewels", such a beautiful song which will get to your heart no matter what kind of mood (or traffic!) you're in. Five stars, ten if that were possible! |

| I am impressed. I grew up on Bluegrass. My Mom sang in her share of Bluegrass bands and I got to work concession at a Ralph Stanley concert once. This is a great CD. I listen to it in the car everywhere I go, since my son isn't old enough to complain yet. |

Another Fine Collection of Women in Bluegrass
Submitted on: 2002-10-18 |

| Once you get over the obvious marketing ploy to target a record-buying public still enamored with the "O Brother!" phenomenon, this second volume from Rounder is yet another collection of some of the brightest stars in bluegrass music today. Other than a trio of songs from the Seventies (tracks 14-16), these tracks are from the late-Nineties through the present. In fact, a couple of these have not yet been released on the artists' albums, including the Lester Flatt Standard "I'll Stay Around" by Alecia McRight which features mandolin wizard Ronnie McCoury. The other is "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" with an angelic vocal from Jeannie Kendall. This is a solid collection of bluegrass music--regardless of gender. Highlights include Kathy Kallick's plaintive "Hideaway," the heartfelt original "Reason Enough" by Tanya Savory, and Phyllis Boyens and Hazel Dickens' "Dream of a Miner's Child" with backup provided by the Dreadful Snakes (Jerry Douglas, Roland White, Bela Fleck, et. al.). The only track that doesn't fit a traditional bluegrass mold is Wayfaring Strangers' "Memories of You," which has a very newgrass feel to it with viola and clarinet. What you get with this collection is 68 minutes of bluegrass bliss. And with the depth of talent on the Rounder label, they should have no problem coming up with a volume 3. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |

An "All you can eat buffett" of Bluegrass Music
Submitted on: 2002-10-14 |
|
| This CD contains some of the the best Bluegrass music today. Every track can stand on its own as a great recording. Having 1 CD with so many great bluegrass names back-to-back gives the listener the ability to easily compare and contrast musical styles of the artists. Often, "various artists" bluegrass cd's a letdown, but this one is remarkable. |
