"David Grier lives up to his reputation as one of the hottest acoustic flatpickers around. But don't be misled into thinking that this will be an album of hot licks showcasing Grier alone. Instead Grier has written some beautiful tunes spanning bluegrass, newgrass, jazz, and Grier's own unique compositional voice. Grier's sensitive touch on the instrument is at the center of this album, but it is surrounded by phenomenal performances all around. This is a deeply musical album. I have had it on continuous play for several days and found more pleasure each listen."
