CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com It's no criticism of Karl Shiflett and his band to say they're living in the past. Recording around a set of vintage RCA Ribbon microphones, orchestrating each fiddle and mandolin break and each passionately harmonized chorus as if in homage to the sound and style of early Flatt & Scruggs and the original Blue Grass Boys, Shiflett positively nails the primordial dynamics of classic bluegrass. More impressively, he does so with a set dominated by original material. One of the best songs, banjo picker Jake Jenkins's mournful "Another Day," mirrors spare Carter Family ballads and perfectly suits Shiflett's homespun, twangy tenor. In Full Color is old-school bluegrass, and what it lacks in adventure and invention, it more than makes up for in heart, skill, and charm. --Roy Kasten Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsI stumbled across it and really enjoy it ... M. Shiflett | FPO, AP USA (Yokosuka, Japan) | 06/28/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "... and, no, it's not just because we have the same last name!I purchased this CD last year and took it with me when I went on deployment to the Arabian Gulf. On Sept. 11th, my ship went on high alert, and we went several weeks of long days with no port calls (or even plans for them). I must have listened to the CD 200 times in three months. One particular track, entitled "Another Day", about patience and faith, helped me to get through that long, hard period keeping (most of) my wits about me. Thanks.-FC2(SW) Shiflett, Mark C., USN" A Must Have.. ST | Durant, OK United States | 03/18/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Some things just can't be described in words, they have to experienced and this is very true regarding this CD. Listening to this CD was a joy, to say the least. The only thing better than this CD, is seeing them perform in person. They have captured the spirit of all the many past great legends in bluegrass and rolled them up into one fantastic package, then sprinkled it with their own spirit. This is not a CD you just listen to, you actually experience it. Don't miss it. ST"
