Music reviews of Circles Around Me
Music Review: Sammy!
Rating: 5 Stars
Another great disk by Sam. I hesitated to purchase this one, simply because I own all of Sam's disks, & frankly was begining to feel that the creative juices may have begun to run dry just a bit. Don't get me wrong, Laps in Seven & King of My World are fine, fine disks, better than 99.9% of stuff out there, but they seem to be strained a bit at times. It seemed to me - right or wrong - that Sam was straining for a hit.
This one, by contrast, feels completely relaxed. Sam is entirely at home with this material. It is as if he is putting on a comfortable old pair of well worn boots. His pacing is just right. Oh, he can still let it rip, as he does, for instance, in Blue Mountain. But more often than not, he lets the songs set their own pace. On Souveneir Bottles, for instance, first released decades ago on Barren County, he keeps the synchopated style while avoiding the choppiness of the original. Old North Woods has the relaxed feel of the Grisman/Garcia albums, or maybe the Grisman/Rice Pizza Tapes. Gold Heart Locket features Jerry Douglas. My personal favorite is Junior Heywood, which includes not only Flux but the incomparable Edgar Meyer, whose bow work is peerless, as always. I particularly like the way Sam signs off this album, with Apple Blossom, featuring a duet with the late great Courtney Johnson, the aforementioned Souveneir Bottles, & Whisper Your Name, an Ebo Walker tune that harkens all the way back to NGR's very first disk. Of course, his extraordinary band shines throughout. One quibble: the drums are mixed a little high, in my opinion, including on the opening track. But a quibble it is. Any fan of Sam, NGR, or progressive bluegrass - yes, newgrass - ought to pick this up. Don't be a dope like me & forestall any further your enjoyment of this latest musical chapter from Sammy.
Description of Circles Around Me
Sam Bush's eighth solo album and sixth with Sugar Hill, Circles Around Me, is an aurally inspiring mix of bluegrass favorites and complementary new songs. "I don't know why, but it felt right at this moment in my life to go back and revisit some things that I've loved all my life, which is bluegrass and, unapologetically, newgrass," says Bush. "After all these years of experimenting--and there's experimentation on this record too--I've come full circle." Produced by three-time GRAMMY® winner Bush, the 14-song set includes appearances by Del McCoury, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas and, thanks to the discovery of an old demo, New Grass Revival co-founder Courtney Johnson (posthumously). The album also employs the phenomenal talent of Bush's band: Scott Vestal, Stephen Mougin, Byron House and Chris Brown.Country CDs
