Midwest Record, CD Review >>
Here is a perfect example of the kind of music that would not find its way to disk if not for the good offices of concerned arts councils. Stone traces the history of the banjo from Africa to America in a set that mixes African field hollers with some really great bluegrass. Obviously the product of a fertile mind, at first blush it seems that you need to be a real NPR type to appreciate this. Having open-minded world beat ears doesn’t hurt either. At times, the expert musicianship makes you feel like you are listening to sketches “Graceland 2”. Certainly a wildly creative set that requires more than a casual listen.
