Yonder Mountain String Band - Old Hands

Yonder Mountain String Band is to Jamgrass what the Rolling Stones are to Rock and Roll. That being said, they have stepped out of their comfort zone to create a record that is sure to become a classic. With Old Hands they have proven that they are very capable of a traditional bluegrass-country album that will undoubtedly turn the heads of the more true-blue critics who have had trouble with the long jams and themes of previous efforts, which didn't quite fit the mold of the traditionalists.

Yonder got together with soulful songwriter (and self described butcher plumber, music lover and fly fishing junkie) Benny 'Burl' Galloway and recorded a masterpiece composed entirely of tunes written by Burl. We picked up the album at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival last week and didn't have a chance to listen to it until the ride home. We listened to it all the way through three times over on our eight-hour drive. It's a bluegrass-country album that is pure and beautiful. It portrays the content maturity and beauty one would expect in an Alison Kraus album, and an authentic old time sound that is unmistakable and connected to the roots of yesteryear. ~ Full Review at Bluegrass Works
