Review

Vassar Clements began his career as a fiddler playing bluegrass with Bill Monroe in 1958. He proved to be such a versatile musician that during the next four decades he played honky-tonk with Faron Young, rock with the Grateful Dead, and jazz with Stephane Grappelli. On Full Circle he returns to the high lonesome sound that inspired him to pick up the fiddle all those years ago, but from the opening track--a cover of Cream's "White Room" that features Béla Fleck on banjo--it's clear this is not an ordinary collection of traditional bluegrass songs. But even when Clements is exploring acoustic psychedelia, as he does on "White Room," or giving the Beatles' classic "Yesterday" a bluegrass makeover, his playing is full of down-home charm. And when he plays an old bluegrass number like "Your Love Is Like a Flower," which includes lead vocals by Ricky Skaggs, or joins Jim and Jesse McReynolds on their classic tune "Hard Hearted," it's a reminder that he is one of the most inspired country fiddlers to ever draw a bow. --Michael Simmons
