Free Music Notes for Quartet
Free Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a magic album. I've got the three Old & In the Way cd's and "Moonlight Midnight" is my favorite O&ITW song. Well, the version on this new disc outshines them all, IMO.
Peter's voice has only improved with age and Tony's guitar work on "Midnight Moonlight" is amazing. The Quartet's take on the standard "Shady Grove" put new life into an often recorded folk song. "Cold Rain and Snow" sounds more haunting than ever. Highly recommended.
Quartet Poster
Two eclectic acoustic music veterans are better than one, as this second collaboration by singer-songwriter Peter Rowan and guitar virtuoso Tony Rice attests. Doubling their fun is the addition of bassist Bryn Davies and mandolinist Sharon Gilchrist, who provide female harmonies as well as instrumental support. Five of the eleven tunes are Rowan originals, highlighted by an almost eight-minute expansion of his "Moonlight Midnight," a favorite from his Old and in the Way days, giving Rice's guitar plenty of room to roam; as well as a revival of "The Walls of Time," written with Bill Monroe. The selection additionally ranges from the bittersweet beauty of Townes Van Zandt's "To Live Is to Fly" to a surprising dip into the songbook of Patti Smith, transforming her "Trespasses" into a tone-poem waltz with lilting three-part harmonies. Three straight spirituals bring the set to a soul-stirring close. --Don McLeeseAcoustic music legends Peter Rowan and Tony Rice continue their fruitful collaboration with Quartet, which finds the pair joined by bassist/vocalist Bryn Davies and mandolinist/vocalist Sharon Gilchrist. Recorded after extensive touring, Quartet introduces a dynamic and cohesive band grounded in traditional bluegrass, yet capable of spinning out extended improvisational journeys. The band's repertoire is equally intriguing, ranging from songs by Townes Van Zandt and Patti Smith to bluegrass standards, traditional ballads ("Cold Rain and Snow"), and classic Rowan originals ("Dust Bowl Children" and a stunningly reinvented "Moonlight Midnight").
"The spellbinding synergy of Rowan's soulful serenades and Rice's masterful flatpicking ...it's almost as if the singer and accompanist are one in the same." - Bluegrass Now
"A musical marriage made in heaven." - Relix
