Bridge of Love Cd.......2003-02-10

This is a fantastic cd if you like bluegrass/country/folk music.
It is very rare for me to find a cd that I like every song on but this is one. Page Wilson has an excellent voice and this group is very tight together.

Singer/Songwriter Page Wilson Displays Unique Style.......2001-11-30

Page Wilson, front man for the band Reckless Abandon has produced a live recording that fully displays his singing/songwriting talents. From the sweet harmonys on the opening title song "This Bridge of Love" to rough and ready "Rider" this CD has a little something for all musical tastes.

Though his music leans towards bluegrass, this non-bluegrass music fan finds Wilson's work unique and addictive.

Take a chance. You won't be disappointed!

Purebred American Mongrel Music? You betcha!.......2000-02-26

Purebred American Mongrel Music? That's right - this is a sonic gumbo of folk, country, blues and bluegrass, played with virtuoso skill and humor. It's not easily categorized, but it sure is easy on the ears. Page Wilson has been cooking up this special blend of roots music for years from his home in Hanover County, Virginia, and these 13 songs showcase his talent in brilliant fashion. "Bridge of Love" is Page's third release (his first two LP's, long out of print, are well worth searching out) and his first with Reckless Abandon. In short, it's a beautiful all-acoustic collection of music. Page is a first-class songwriter, and on this disc he sings about lazy Sunday afternoons, asleep-at-the-wheel truckers, swimming nekkid in the ocean and other slices of life, turning everyday occurrences into little ruminations on life and the passing of time. It's truly life-affirming stuff. Page's smoky baritone soars and carries the songs. And the band! Holy cow, these guys can play. Charles Arthur makes his dobro sing, cry, whistle, even squawk like a chicken. It's some of the best dobro playing to be heard anywhere. Chris Fuller's strong mandolin chop provides the backbone for the band, and he trades lightning fast solos with guitarist Jay Gillespie that are filled with ease and humor. It's enough to send this wannabe guitarist back for lessons. Bassist Billy Lux provides the bluegrass-style rhythm throughout, and nearly everyone sings. So who do these guys sound like? Take one part New Grass Revival, mix it with a pinch of Guy Clark and David Bromberg, toss in an old copy of Workingman's Dead and finish with a shade of country blues and you might end up with this bit of Reckless Abandon. Recorded live in-the-studio before a small group of family and friends, this is a reference-quality recording that sounds honest and crisp, just like a live recording should sound. Nice artwork, too! Take a chance on this little slice of Americana - it's well worth the trip.
