5.0 out of 5 stars a breath of fresh air, June 14, 2005

I first started to listen to bluegrass almost 10 years ago and have run the gammut. A lot of the new 'jamgrass' bands that are popping up foresake the singing and songwriting so important to the genre. As strange as it sounds, I've been listening to more electronic music lately... but this album is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Beautiful melodies, harmonies, and fantastic playing. I'm almost afraid that Weather and Water will be a let down, but I can't wait to find out.

They are about to go on tour opening for Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. I'm pretty sure they'll come out of that one with a legion of new fans, so be "cool" and buy this one today ;)

As an aside... I knew the fiddle player, Eamon, when I was living in Austin five years ago (yes, I paid for this album), and the reason for the name is that none of them were born American! Yet, they seem to have mastered this American artform... intriguing...

5.0 out of 5 stars Where have these guys been?, June 9, 2005

This album is phenomenal. The fiddle and mandolin work, mixed with Carol's warm and pure voice create a sound that combines early bluegrass tunes with the country music I love today. The entire album, front to back sets a mood that you can't find yourself, escaping until long after the album has finished. I'm really looking forward to Weather and Water, from what I've heard on their website, it may very well to top this one.

This album is exactly what I've been searching for!! The music is so refreshingly honest and pure, and the musical talent in this trio is absolutely unbelievible....I love it! The Greencards somehow manage to make music that holds on to the traditional roots of the genre, and keep a contemporary sound at the same time. Terrific!!

---I Can't wait for the next one!!!---
