Music reviews of Heartland: An Appalachian Anthology
Music Review: Yo Yo Ma, Bela Fleck, and Alison Krauss?
Rating: 4 Stars
I've got them all individually in my collection, but collectively? I had to listen to the CD, then I had to buy it. You've got traditionals from anonymous donors and Foster. You've got some of the finest pickers and strummers around and it's just great stuff.
Favorites: James Taylor's rendition of "Johnny has gone for a soldier". You'd think I'd tire of this song, I've got a dozen covers of it, but no.
"Death by Triple Fiddle" is a fast-paced fiddle song that'd have you dizzy if you got up and tried to dance, but your foot's going to be tapping and you might as well try!

Description of Heartland: An Appalachian Anthology
The likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, Joshua Bell, and Mark O'Connor can be heard on Heartland, a compilation featuring the best tracks from Sony's ongoing Appalachian-themed series of CDs. Individually, these folk and classical stars have little in common, but when they meet to play these new bluegrass-meets-chamber-music arrangements, the results are pure magic. It's hard to pinpoint these Americana-tinged tunes--they could fit in either Carnegie Hall or a grange hall--but they're all great; this is as much Aaron Copland's version of roots music as it is Bill Monroe's. Whether on fast-and-furious breakdowns such as "Death by Triple Fiddle" or on mellow, almost New Agey instrumentals such as "Sliding Down" (featuring Bela Fleck on the banjo), these musicians excel. Guest vocals by James Taylor and Alison Krauss break up the instrumentals, though instrumental virtuosity is the real highlight of this disc. If you like what you hear on this sampler, check out the Grammy Award-winning Appalachian Journey next. --Jason VerlindeGeneral CDs
