Music reviews of Hand Hewn

Music Review: Music you can't get out of you head
Rating: 5 Stars

Bluegrass music is happy music, no matter how the lyrics read. This CD is just phenomenal. A few of the tracks (Angelina Baker, in particular) are so good that they'll be stuck in your head for hours. And that's a good thing. You'll love this CD! (If you ever get a chance to see Dry Branch live, sell your car, fly cross country, auction off the kids, but do whatever it takes to get a ticket. You won't regret it!)

Description of Hand Hewn

Though aficionados often draw a line between bluegrass and old-time music, a few contemporary artists persist in beautifully blurring that distinction. Led by mandolinist Ron Thomason, a singer in the Ralph Stanley tradition of quavering soulfulness, the Dry Branch Fire Squad bring a dignified, enduring sweetness to these mostly traditional songs. They keep the arrangements simple and crystalline, focusing on exhilarating harmonies rather than instrumental showboating (though the band gets a chance to stretch out on "Nazeer, Nazeer," a Thomason instrumental romp). The set's only drawback (minor to be sure) is that Suzanne Thomas, one of the finest singers in country music, contributes only one lead vocal. But to hear her sing the line "She never sings cuckoo till the fourth day of July" accompanied only by her frail banjo is to know what pure country music is all about. --Roy Kasten
