5.0 out of 5 stars I've fallen into the slippery zone and I can't get out!, March 11, 1999

I was channel surfing in the car the other day and heard Ickes playing a bluegrass version of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" on NPR. I nearly cried - it was Dang Good! This bluegrass/jazz/fusion thing rocks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!, April 15, 1999

i had the opportunity to see Rob in Davis, CA recently where he performed many of the songs from this cd. It was well worth the 2 hour drive. Not only is Rob great, but the musicians who play with him are great also. A truly talented group of young men. The style of music is a change from the bluegrass that Rob is usually associated with, but no less enjoyable.

After having owned this CD for nearly a year and listening to it several times a week, I like it more than ever. Rob Ickes is phenomenal on dobro. And his "slide" into jazz WORKS! This recording has me tappin' and snappin' and scattin' every time I hear it. Some of my favorite cuts are #1 through #10!! Awesome pickin'!
