Rambling Boy

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
by: Charlie Haden

September 23, 2008
'Rambling Boy' is a marvelous compilation of authentic, front-porch Americana. I love country and hear my share of Bluegrass. If you're a fan of groups such as Charlie Haden, as I am, this will show you what their predecessors sounded like. True roots music. The recording is great, as well. Nary a hiss or pop, which is quite remarkable for recordings of this era. The engineers obviously embarked on a labor of love. The songs and the singers are first rate- this is a sing along CD- grab it and bring it with you- warning: it may cause foot tapping and hand clapping.

Highly Recommended. prisrob 11-16-08

A Hundred Miles Or More: Live From the Tracking Room

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
starring: Alison Krauss

November 11, 2008
I collect and own 100's of music DVD's, and nearly all music HD-DVD's and music Blu-ray's yet released, which I play back with very resolving gear in my home theater. I bought this because Alison is tops by any measure. I knew the music would be wonderful, but I was surprised to find the recording quality itself to be so outstanding. Very dynamic with excellent sound stage and dimension. The video is excellent too, as good it gets short of hi-definition.

Now if we could just have a blu-ray concert of Alison and Union Station . . .

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
from: Buena Vista Pictures

December 05, 2000
Bought this CD as USED but it looks and sounds as good as new. This music is haunting, beautiful, or charming...depending on the specific tune. This is really pre-country / bluegrass classical folk stuff. You will either understand its origins and love it, or think it is stupid.

A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
by: Alison Krauss

April 03, 2007
This isn't for your upbeat, dancing mood; but it is beautiful and satisfying in its own right. Listen to it a few times before making a judgment. I love Alison's pure voice and the simple, heartfelt songs she chooses. The only song that I don't care for is the "Sawing on the Strings", as it doesn't fit the rest of the mood of this more melancholy, yet lovely collection.

Glide

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass

August 19, 2008
While Alison Krause is exploring other music direction her fellow Union Station members are out working. A great solid set from one of the greatest dobro players. Except for two songs this is instrumental so if you like those songs with a great dobro presence this is it. A great backing band to help make this a wonderful set. If you are a Jerry Douglas fan make sure that this one is in your collection!

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
by: Alison Krauss & Union Station

November 05, 2002
I had no idea when I purchased Alison Krauss & Union Station in concert that I would have to fight to keep the CD. Everyone that has heard it loves it and wants to borrow it. I now have to keep it under lock & key. Can't wait to get more of this group. They are simply the best ever.

The Steeldrivers

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bluegrass
by: The Steeldrivers

January 15, 2008
Steeldrivers' sound has the raw alt country flavor rolled in bluegrass. The songwriting on the disc is consistently strong as Mike Henderson's mandolin, Tammy Rogers' fiddle & Richard Bailey's banjo give the music a cohesive style. From the opener "Blue Side of the Mountain" to the closer, this is a strong set. "Blue Side of the Mountain" has a howl like a vintage recording by The Band with Chris Stapleton's vocals moody & desperate, "I'm going back to a world of shadows, Got to find peace before I lose my mind, on the blue side of the mountain where the sun don't ever shine." "Heaven Sent" has a lovely melody with Rogers' fiddle lifting the arrangement, "I move around a lot these days, honky tonks, the Broadway plays, the same that I've ... Read More:

Now That I've Found You: A Collection

Allison Krauss sets my heart singing with this collection of songs.
"Now that I've found you" is awesome. I love it because it is my theme song with my husband!
