Amazon.com This young fiddler's heart may be in bluegrass, but his talents know few bounds. At 26, Aubrey Haynie is equally gifted on the mandolin, and he's already chalked up one strong solo album (1997's Doin' My Time) and enough session work to make him a cagey veteran. For his second Sugar Hill release, Haynie calls in favors from heavy hitters such as Tim O'Brien, Béla Fleck, Bobby Hicks, and Jerry Douglas, and skips nimbly from sunny bluegrass instrumentals to gospel vignettes to old-time revisions of "Butcher Boy" (with a deep, haunting vocal from O'Brien) and even "Buffalo Gals." His originals tend toward experimental nouveaux grass: the percussive funk of "Thonotosassa" suggests both the Flecktones and Phish, while opener "Creek's a Risin'" converts "Shady Grove" into an epic minor-key Dobro and fiddle duel. Haynie wisely hands off the few vocal chores to those better suited, and the result is one of the more animated, lyrical, and daring contemporary bluegrass records in recent memory. --Roy Kasten Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsWhat a treat William Adair | 07/01/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have to admit something really embarrassing- I had no idea who Aubrey Haynie was when I purchased the CD, but I liked the collaborators and the classy cover. Sometimes you just get lucky, and this was one of those times.Most of this CD is instrumental, ranging from slow and pensive to downright wild. Likewise, the tunes range from fresh treatments of classic country and folk (Homesick and Lonesome and Butcher Boy) to funky jazzgrass (Thonotassassa). Most tunes are Aubrey's own creations and the overall feeling is bluegrass. The level of diversity is just right and the vocal numbers are absolutely first rate.Aubrey Haynie gets the very best out of his guests, and given the list (Bryan Sutton, Rob Ickes, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Tim O'Brien, Dan Tyminski, and more), that's saying quite a lot. I hope Aubrey continues to "carry on," and can't wait for the next one." Best CD I've encountered in 5 years 07/19/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Hey-this CD is great! Fabulous new tunes, great fiddle playing, and no vocals!" Solid album by a real pro Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 03/01/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "In the last half of the 1990s, what with his relentless session work and his association with the whole "O Brother" crowd, fiddler Aubrey Haynie became one of those stalwart "usual suspect" studio hotshots whose names seem to appear on every 'grassy record in the world. This solo release showcases Haynie's rock-solid musicianship... Many tracks are a bit too professional and perfect for my tastes, but there's certainly nothing "wrong" with this album. Naturally, a whole slew of his superpicker pals are on board for the ride, including Jerry Douglas, Dan Tyminski, Bela Fleck, Rob Ickes and others. Still, it's relatively rootsy for such an oft-times super-slick performer."
