...that the Ookpik was an owl who carried away the souls of the dead on their final journey). “Girl From the North Country” is an example of music moving full circle. With the aid of guest musicians Jerry Douglas and James Hutchinson on dobro and bass, Altan gives its take on this 35-year-old Bob Dylan piece which was in turn partly inspired by a traditional song. Track seven packs all the clichés into the overlong title “Gusty’s Frolicks/Con Slip Jig/The Pretty Young Girls of Carrick/The...
...Grass Is Blue," and if it falls a bit short of its predecessor's headlong exhilaration, it still delivers a good helping of the right stuff. Chief among its virtues is the killer band that Parton has mostly retained from the first album, especially the remarkable Jerry Douglas on dobro and Stuart Duncan on fiddle. The ease with which these young veterans propel winners such as "Seven Bridges Road" carries over to and elevates less inspiring selections like Collective Soul's "Shine," and when Dolly and her boys kick in with all cylinders as they do on a bona fide...

"Sings Like the Dickens" was rereleased in 1995 by New York City?based reissue specialists Razor & Tie, who have done a fine job delving into the archives to find...
...mandolin virtuoso has long been a fixture at Telluride's annual bluegrass festival, and "Ice Caps" is a collection of those performances from over the years featuring Bush and a cast of equally gifted guest performers. Among the most notable of these are newgrass veterans Jerry Douglas on dobro (who gets a great ride on "Girl from the North Country") and especially banjoist Bela Fleck, whose inspired playing puts the instrument through paces that Earl Scruggs could hardly have imagined...
