Album Description

RED LEAF could easily be described as bluegrass for the adult contemporary set, with Becky's angelic Alison Krauss-like voice rising above her band's skillful picking.

The first track, "Alabama Sun" is a heartbreaking memoir of a farmer so elderly that no one in his hometown even remembers him. "Little Janie," about a mother who kills her daughter during a flu epidemic, is as morbid as a bluegrass song can get. Becky's songs run the gamut from personal and heart-achey to sweet and homey.

RED LEAF was recorded at the renowned MasterMix studios in Minnesota. It features the talents of acoustic luminaries Peter Ostroushko, Marc Anderson, and John Niemann.

4 out of 5 stars The new Alison Krauss?.......2003-12-02

This is an enjoyable recording of very pretty almost-bluegrass songs, all written by the singer with the Alison Krauss-like voice, Becky Schlegel. The lyrics are generally passable but unremarkable, with subjects ranging from sappy love songs - and her sweet voice goes well with these - to the joy of country life. On occasion they're remarkably touching ("Red Leaf") or remarkably annoying ("Sister Sam", which seems to be written from the point of view of someone who approves of the petty conflicts often arising between siblings about who's the favorite or who's not doing their share of taking care of the aging parents). But you wouldn't buy this for the lyrics; it's the gorgeous sound that takes liberties with traditional bluegrass, either by being more spare or by occasionally adding a forbidden instrument like an electric or pedal steel guitar. All in all, while comparisons with Alison Krauss are inevitable, and to my taste Ms. Schlegel is a tiny notch below Ms. Krauss as a vocalist, this is an enjoyable CD that should appeal to fans of modern bluegrass. If you like Alison Krauss, it's certainly worth a listen.

      4 out of 5 stars Very good instrumental mix of old and new.......2007-02-05

      THis is one of my top 3 bluegrass albums(my number one and two are Tony Rice the bluegrass guitar album and Ultimate pickin') What is kind of neat is this album is it is 50/50 old and new. I usually shy away from the older ones because of the poor recording equipment. But this one has ones I really liked (especially if you play). As far as the NEW sounding instrumentals, the Gold Rush and Jerusalem Ridge are just amazing!!! For the old ones, the kentucky colonels doing 9 lb hammer is very neat. The guitar and mandolin play about 14 different solos. Highly recommended, all instrumental music. Great album for someone like me who plays and goes to bluegrass jams and festivals.
