Rating 3.5
Lacks the Cohesion of her BrotherThe collection of songs on "O Brother" was made very deliberately, with a wonderful ear toward a "comprehensive" overall sound. But there was no such brilliant and strong guiding force at work for "O Sister", which is essentially a compilation of various female Rounder artistes.Don't get me wrong - I like many of the songs included here, but they don't always blend together in the best way. I haven't yet heard a superb compliation collection of female bluegrass artistes, but if you want to hear an excellent and cohesive collection of Rounder artists, buy the 2-CD "Hand Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass". wowI was just thummin' through some free downloads when I ran into this cd and thought I would give it a try. thinking nothing of it I started playing them. after listening to the samples rour times I decied to get it for myself. the songs are equally catchy up deat and addicitve. the banjo is a beautiful insterment which the cd contains a lot of is old time sound. if you like bluegrass your collection wont be complete without this cd I imagin the frist one is just as good.Phony BluegrassIf this is Bluegrass then I will have to stick with greengrass.
My impression is that they failed with rock or whaterver. Music such as O'Sister will destroy real Bluegrass. The CD that I purchased went to the garbage can where it belongs!! |
