Free Music Notes for Song of the Traveling DaughterFree Music Review: My introduction to folk music Hit: 5 StarsDon't own another folk album and I don't think I've ever written an amazon review, but this album moves me that much. Thank you ABC's radio national for playing this wonderful lady on the air and to all you reviewers. She is so wonderful.
Free Music Review: Sublime! Hit: 5 StarsSublime! You haven't lived until you've heard bluegrass sung in Chinese. Note that (as of 3/16/08) all 17 out of 17 reviews on this album are 5-star. That should tell you something!
Free Music Review: Great album--not the same old thing. Hit: 5 StarsThe music here is at once serene and lively. It has a depth that keeps unfolding with repeated listening. There's a real personality to Abigail Washburn's music, and it's a personality worth exploring.
Free Music Review: Bela Fleck's favorite Banjo Player Hit: 5 StarsI've read through these reviews, and so many of them are from people who were blown away at one or another folk festival, and my story is no different. i went to Merlefest, planning to see and be impressed by some of the great olds and maybe some newgrass types as well, but was MOSTLY knocked out, and repeatedly so, by ms. Washburn and her collaborators in Uncle Earl. There were other awesome groups there, like the Redstick Ramblers, Toubab Krewe, oh, lot's of them, but what I still hear in my head weeks later is all Abigail Washburn, and that's a good thing.
Free Music Review: Tibet or West Virginia - Sensational Hit: 5 StarsI heard Abigail and the Sparrow Quartet in Tibet and then on Mountain Stage.
She is an incredibly talented musician and she has things to say which are worth listening to - musically and lyrically. She plays a mean banjo and has the voice of an angel. Don't miss her - she'll by at Wesleyan University - the Crowell Auditorium - on March 31, 2007. Pu it on you calendar if you're in that corner of the world.
