Haunting.......2002-07-18
I don't know Ostroushko's stuff, but this CD will force me to investigate.
Norman Blake, of course, is legendary for his beautiful old-time country guitar work, not only on his own wonderful albums but also as the guitar player for such artists as Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. And, oh yes, he featured prominently in the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.
The two of them together are simply dynamite. In particular, three tracks -- "Little Bessie", "Marjorie's Waltz #3" and "Oh, Death" -- are gorgeous, absolutely haunting. ...Blake's twang is great, but it's the songs where Ostroushko sings that stick in your mind and keep you awake at night. Wonderful.
A subtle, delectable acoustic album.......2002-05-15
This fine collaboration between two highly-regarded veterans of the '70s acoustic revival is flat out fabulous. As with Blake's other releases, it's the understated mastery and pervasive love of the music that come through, and these two guys have as much command of the material as anyone on the face of the planet... and Blake's wife, Nancy, is no slouch either. A really nice album -- quiet, evocative, full of great old songs, and a nice sense of give-and-take between the musicians. Recommended!
Immerse Your Soul.......2002-04-08
The finest acoustic instruments and flat-pickers on one album.
"Very O'Brother Where Art Thou" with old-style country and gospel sung over a century ago with an extraordinaire passion and talent. Very good collection of Peter Ostroushko-influenced Norman Blake and Norman Blake-influenced Peter Ostroushko ("Majorie's Waltz #3" gets very 'moody'). Nancy Blake's cello was a welcomed edition to many of the tracks to completely immerse your soul.
