A wildly talented multi-instrumentalist (mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, pretty much anything with strings), Bush weaves an eclectic blend of bluegrass, country, folk and jazz on this solo release from Sugar Hill. With such gifted cohorts as Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and J.D. Crowe on hand, the musicianship here is frequently dazzling. The album is evenly split between instrumental and vocal numbers, with the instrumentals faring better. Bush and John Cowan handle the vocal duties, and while both are good enough singers, several of the songs tend lyrically toward a new-agey sort of earnestness. ~ Joel Roberts
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (5/15/98, p.103) - "On one of his most satisfying solo albums, newgrass mandolin virtuoso Bush makes up for his monochromatic vocal stylings with the same zeal he applies to his instrumental work (an energetic stew of jazz, 'grass, rock, reggae, gospel and blues)..." - Rating: B+
