    Asher’s deft work provides breathing room between the instruments, Martin’s subtle playing leaves the showboating behind and the trio delivers a modest gem.

    This is a sweet-sounding album with subtle depths, not really bluegrass, but a precisely gentle folk album that grows more graceful and revealing with each listen.

    This album clearly had the potential to be more than merely enjoyable. Its failure to be something greater sticks in the craw.

    It's hard not to smile with listening to this album. Easily one of the best albums I've listened to this year from any genre of music.    … Full Review »
