Free Music Review: Words can't describe it - Mandolin Fans.... just go GET it!
Hit: 5 Stars

I have been absolutely playing the spots off of this CD.... I'm becoming addicted. I won't repeat what others have written about the credentials of Mike Marshall and Chris Thile - they're two mandolin virtuosos FAR beyond any who ever recorded to my knowledge and let's leave it at that.

The whole dad-gummed thing is almost painfully good, but here are a few highlights...

Charlie Parker's Scrapple From the Apple - they play so cool and funky.... you know how you hear a good jazz player diddlin' around and you think "Man, I'd like to hear this guy just cut LOOSE on something?" Well.... this song is these two cut LOOSE at their cool, funky, jazzy best.

Fisher's Hornpipe - Alison Krauss also plays this on the Mark O'Connor, Yo Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer CD Appalachian Waltz..... BUT with all due respect to those four fine musicians (and I love MOC, Yo Yo, Alison, etc).... You've just got to hear this recording to believe it - you remember that album Marshall and Darol Anger did 20 years ago, The Duo? Well, THIS album, and this cut in particular is like Marshall has been practicing for 20 years and waiting for someone who could keep up.... and along comes The Kid (the family nickname for the prodigiously talented barely 20-something Chris Thile) with his mandolin loaded for BEAR.

Their Fisher's Hornpipe isn't just good, it isn't just hot.... it absolutely crackles with sizzling intensity. They alternately glide gracefully along the strings, then put in mind-teasing syncopy then play sizzling, raging passages.... the only thing that comes to mind to compare is Eric Johnson' Masterpiece "Cliffs of Dover".

I agree with others who have said that this recording just whets your appetite for the potpourri of styles that Mike and Chris are absolute masters of. Classical? Check out the Goldberg Variations.

How good can a recording of two guys playing mandolins be?

This good.
