Simply the Best

"If you are a true lover of bluegrass and the simple but pure tones of the five string banjo and the fiddle, this is the CD for you. This instrumental CD contains 14 tunes that are simply stated "best of the genre". Joe Mullins' evocative banjo playing is near perfect with a clarity of notation and timing that is glorious. Gerald Evans fiddle playing is inventive and captivating. Never have the two instruments sounded better together and the choice of tunes will captivate you. I don't usually get too excited over a CD but with this one put an end to that. I have listened to it over and over again. The technical execution is as near perfect as I have ever heard and the music is, well, thrilling. I play five string banjo myself and this recording will set the standard for me for many years to come."
