I 2nd the 6 Stars.Expressive, playful, powerful!!!!
I would have to give this 5 stars + also.
A musician's musician if you would. Hasn't left the top of my stereo since it came out. As far as I'm concerned it's just another stellar album in a discography that is at the top of the genre of Americana music. Is that actually a genre yet? As I find myself saying at Danny's live shows "What in the hell is he playing here?".
Some damn fine music that's what. You won't be disappointed with this fine music.What a geniusI have played this CD more often since I bought it at a Danny Barnes show 2 months ago than I would have guessed possible. He is a wonderful song writer, incredible player - just a genius on guitar and banjo. You get his sense of humor and good natured showmanship when you see him live, and that shines through on this CD as well. Plus - what a killer band. The back and forth on "peanut butter..." with Darol Anger is great. I had the good fortune to see him again just last night here in Seattle. Damn, the man can play! People who say they hate the banjo need to open their ears and check this guy out. He is just a smokin' improvisational player.Twentieth Century ReduxBanjo picker Barnes seamlessly covers the gamut from traditional American mountain music to hip hop. And his succulent cover of The Faces' "Ooh La La" is one for the automatic repeat button. |
