5.0 out of 5 stars Dixie Bee-Liners Awesome, April 27, 2009

So it's Friday AM at MerleFest, we're walking around and pass the great big Watson Stage. Suddenly we hear these otherworldly harmonies that stops us dead in our tracks. Now this is saying something, because for those of you who have never attended MerleFest, good music is everywhere, all the time on the 15 different stages, over the four days of the festival. There's so much good music; you almost get to the point that you tune it out. So the Dixie Bee-Liners are very special to make you suddenly stop, listen, think, dream and enjoy. This is their latest CD. Really original scores, most written by Brandi & Buddy. Blue-new-grass at it's finest. Suspect they will soon be headliners on the order of Allison Krauss and Union Station & Nickel Creek. Buy this CD only if you like awesome music that you'll want to play over and over. Cause you will, play it, over and over.

As a bonus, also had an opportunity to play with them at the pickin' tent on Saturday. They're really nice people too who are doing what God meant for them to do on this planet - make beautiful music for us all to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spicy package --Bright, crisp songs!, April 23, 2008

The CD package is bright and modern ---cheered me up on a windy, chilly day in Arctic Alaska. Then the music is a delicious blend of traditional bluegrass, hard-driving bango and here and there a splash of rock.
Vocalist Brandi Hart sings with sunshine over her shoulder,and fresh energy on each song. The music is vibrant, the songs are ripe, fresh, sometimes thoughtful and sometimes just plain fun, like "Bugs in the basement."
Get the CD and keep an eye on this group --I can see them heavily involved in some new movie about the backroads and rich history of Virginia and the south. Go for it!

This is one of my favorite bluegrass albums, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a friend of the lead singer's brother.

I am certainly not an expert of this particular genre, but I know when I hear good music. And every time I hear one of these tracks, I'm impressed. That's not something that happens very often with other artists.

Anyway, this is a great album, and I assure you that the musicians you are supporting with the purchase are good people working hard to make a living doing what they love.
