Mountain Tracks: Vol. 1 is a ?must have?

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This album includes previously unreleased YMSB originals and fan favorites such as "Snow On the Pines", and "Keep On Going". Traditional tunes such as "Sharecroppers Son" and "My Gal" highlight Yonder's musical roots, while "Legalize It" shows off the bands knack for choosing and blowing the roof off covers you never thought you'd hear bluegrass style. Mountain Tracks is a testament to the bands reputation for creating outstanding live performances. Without a doubt this a "must have" for any Yonder Mountain String Band collection."
CD's good but...

"This CD is a very good recording of a very good band but much as a great appreciation of "Oh Brother, where art thou" is gained by viewing the movie, "Mountain Tracks Volume #1" will be enjoyed more after seeing the band live. Still though, it's good stuff."
Bobble head music

"I tripped over this band on XM's jam bands station and immedietly fell in love with them. It is what I refer to as bobble head music as you cannot listen with bobbing your head, not unless you are catatonic.
The music is fast paced and well performed, with humour sprinkled around.
While bluegrass is not one of my top music genres this band has made me seek out more.
This album is somehing I play over and over again while driving, especially on long trips as it is impossible to fall asleep while it's on."
