CD ReviewsCall This 'O Brother' II Steve Vrana | Aurora, NE | 10/06/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "To say that the this collection of bluegrass music from the Rounder stable of artists wouldn't exist were it not for the "O Brother" phenomenon would be to overstate the obvious. Not only does it feature some of the same artists (Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Norman Blake, the Cox Family), it also features two of the same songs: Lloyd Chandler's a capella "A conversation with Death" (retitled and reworked as "O Death" by Ralph Stanley on the "O Brother" soundtrack) and banjo whiz Tony Furtado and vocalist/madolin player extraordinaire Tim O'Brien's "Man of Constant Sorrow." Both of these versions are certainly the equal of the "O Brother" soundtrack recordings. However, to mistake this collection as a mere knock-off in a crass attempt to sell a few albums would be a mistake. This is a thoroughly enjoyable anthology from start to finish. While most of the material has been pulled from the artists' nineties output, Hazel Dickens' mournful "Hills of Home" is from 1986, Norman Blake's "Bringing in the Georgia Mail" is from his 1972 debut, and the Stanley Brothers' "Meet Me in the Moonlight" is from a 1959 radio broadcast. Overall, this is a terrific overview of a handful of the numerous gifted artists on the Rounder label dedicated to carrying bluegrass into the 21st Century. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" "getting back to the roots of Bluegrass in early days" J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 10/09/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Rounder records gives us a glimpse of what Bluegrass was all about from the early beginnings with a new breed of musicians and entertainers, the likes you've never heard is on this latest compilation ~ "Blue Trail of Sorrow", sixteen charted Bluegrass gems from todays top-notch artists ~ Norman Blake, Lloyd Chandler, Cox Family, Dry Branch Fire Squad, Hazel Dickens, Freight Hoppers, Tony Furtado, John Hartford, Carol Elizabeth Jones, James King, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell, Stanley Brothers Dan Tyminski and Rhonda Vincent head this all-star extravaganza with shades of Bill Monroe, The Dillards, Flatt & Scruggs, Foggy Mountain Boys and John Fahey. If anyone saw the film "O Brother Where Art Thou?", heard the music or the spin off album "Down From the Mountain", can relate to the close harmony of early Americana...just want to leave you with this tidbit...Rounder, we need a lot more of the same!Total Time: 51:41 on 16 Tracks ~ Rounder 116-610-500-2 (2001)" Alison Krauss Fanatic !!!!!!! Dianne Hudson | San Diego, Ca. | 10/25/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This selection of Alison on the fiddle
surely surpasses all previous recordings. I have listened to all her cd's except the most recent one, and you made a very wise decision to put this song on the cd Best woman musician in America in my opinion. Sincerely, Dianne Hudson / composer\musician" |
