Free Music Review: A Real Plum!
Hit: 5 Stars
I ordered this CD without having heard any of the cuts on it because of John Starling's (formerly of the Seldom Scene) singing of "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," one of my favorite Christmas songs. (While his version is fine, nobody can touch Emmy Lou Harris on that one, however.) My favorite song here has to be Doc Watson's beautifully plaintive version of "Christmas Lullaby." In addition to these two great bluegrass singers, there are selections by Peter Rowan, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, Tim and Mollie O'Brien, The Seldom Scene, Robin and Linda Williams, The Bluegrass Cardinals et al. Other great cuts are the a capella arrangement of "The First Novel/It Came Upon a Midnight Clear/Joy To the World" by Doyle Lawsosn and Quicksilver, "Christ Was Born in Bethlehem" by Tim and Mollie O'Brien, "Silent Night" by The Seldom Scene and "The Carpenter Shop" by The Bluegrass Cardinals with their eerily beautiful close harmony. I should point out that-- unlike many collections-- ten of the thirteen cuts here are released for the first time so you get for the most part an all new CD. My only gripe, and it's certainly a minor one, is that with the exception of The Bluegrass Cardinals' song, there's not a banjo within five hundred miles. I don't understand the omission of this beautiful instrument.
This CD, however, really is a plum and will quickly become one of your favorites of the season.
