Free Music Notes for You Were There for Me
Free Music Review: Growing on me
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw these two perform together live at Bumbershoot in Seattle a number of years ago. Rowan was in fine voice. Rice, and the whole of the band, accompanied with sensitivity and virtuosity uncomon in combination in contemporary bluegrass. Their performance of the old traditional "Wayfaring Stranger" brought me to tears and remains vivid in my mind as the definitive performance of a song which everyone has done.
So, when I picked up this album, I was initially (frankly) a bit disappointed. It seems quiet and subdued next to the live performance. The musicians have very few opportunities to stretch out and improvise. It's all Rowan compositions; no traditional music on the whole disc.
But I gave it a second, third, fourth listen. I paid for it, so why not? And it's really grown on me. The musicianship is quietly stunning. Tony Rice has a way of putting 50 notes into a single bar of music that makes it seem simple and melodic. Then I started to notice the other instuments. Bassist Bryn Bright plays enough music to hold every song together on his own, yet he never gets in anyone's way, to just give one other example.
And this is saying nothing of the songwriting. The more I listen, the more I appreciate the story telling, the uncommon subject matter, the nuances of interpretation.
Yup, this is a keeper.
