 | | But then Blue Highway is not just another new bluegrass band, but a bluegrass super group of individuals who have been key players in the bands of Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Lynn Morris and Doyle Lawson. |
 | | Finely-drawn, honest, humble and shamelessly irony-free, the four tunes by Ted Pitney and two by Reid Burgess are sparkling examples of down-home tunesmithing that are sure to have even the sagest musicologists scratching their heads and scurrying for their reference tomes. |
 | | Classic, evocative themes are wed to quicksilver melodies on the prodigal homecoming of "It's Been A Long Time," the heartbreak of "Brokedown and Lonesome" and "All Night Blues," the tender, aching Gothic tragedy of "Lee and Paige," the gospel-flavored, bittersweet "Drifting Away" and the brutal, yet darkly comic kiss-off "Goodbye So Long.". |
