Denis Colleret - "Trains Go By"
Tastey country, folk and gospel music from a fine guitarist and singer.
More Details
If you like the music on “Prairie Home Companion,” you’ll love “Trains Go By.” A delectable history lesson of Gospel, blues and bluegrass, explored with a level of musicianship and scholarship that is suitable and rare. Denis Colleret’s guitar work fluctuates effortlessly from Gospel harp to country road-general store porch blues, to ethereal Celtic steel. John Lowrey may be the best harmonica player around, attacking with a precision that would make a classical flautist jealous. Matt Dudman’s mandolin and upright bass add several colors to this combo’s palate; sprinkles of banjo throughout leave no doubt that this was hatched in the U.S. of A. Review by J.P. Cativiela
High Country: Perfect Companions
Lastest and greatest from traditional bluegrass veterans High Country.
More Details
As of this writing, High Country has been around for 41 years. Having been here for all of them, I’ve had the great good fortune to get to pick with this group of guys for much of that time. We’ve certainly accumulated some mileage, along with more than a few war stories, over which we continue to share a good laugh -- all in addition to the fun of playing our music for folks who seem to enjoy it. As you settle back and listen to the music, I hope that you’ll find yourself as I do.….. in the company of perfect companions. -- Butch Waller December, 2009
