Matthew J. Baum | Italy | 12/03/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you even remotely like Bluegrass, you need this album. If you love Bluegrass, you DEFINITELY need this album!! These boys from Little Rock definitely know how to bring Bluegrass to the table. This CD is so good that if I were a millionaire, I'd buy a copy for everyone. So, my review is 10 stars. Buy this CD and you'll be singin' along in no time."

A darn fine first album

"No Part of Nothin' is a highly accessible album of contemporary Bluegrass. While there is not an official front man to the band and all members participate as songwriter or lead singer at some point, the bulk of the songs were written and sung by guitarist Greg Alexander. Most of the songs have a blend of traditional bluegrass shibboleths and modern day references that combine in a way that is neither self consciously hip nor ostentatiously old fashioned. A song with a title like Burn the Clutch Out seems to epitomize the approach for me. While the musicianship is tight it has an off the cuff vibe that leads you to believe that if the band were to play a song ten times in a row you'd likely hear ten different versions which is one of the things that appeals to me most about the album; the distinct impression that the band would have been sitting around playing these songs whether they were in the studio or on the back porch.
