Rosenthal still sets the scene

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Buy Phil Rosenthal's "A Matter of Time" for Rosenthal's gravy-smooth vocals, his songwriting and his guitar work. As a bonus, you'll get 25 years of the Seldom Scene's bluegrass magic, with Mike Auldridge, Ben Eldridge, Tom Gray and the high tenor of all bluegrass high tenors, the late John Duffy. Jerry Douglas, so close to Auldridge in dobro mastery, now with Allison Krauss, sits in on three cuts. But don't worry about bonuses and big names. Rosenthal's vocals on A Matter of Time are as soothing as the aquamarine waters of the Florida Keys. The title song will send you to the replay button in a quickly conditioned response. Phil Rosenthal is to bluegrass what James Taylor is to popular music."
