Review

The fifteen songs in this collection present the mountain dulcimer in a completely new and refreshing light; guitar-like in its style yet with that distinctive sound that sets the dulcimer apart from other acoustic stringed instruments. The album has an even balance of country and delta blues, along with Scott Joplin's classic piano rags. Presented in a fingerpicking style, the solo instrumentals are performed with style and dexterity while the vocal and guitar accompaniment complement, but never overshadow, the dulcimer. This recording has been recognized as a landmark work in the evolution of contemporary mountain dulcimer performance. It is an easy-listening recording for fans of acoustic ragtime and blues music.
