A few weeks ago I watched Songs of the Mountains on PBS. One group, No Speed Limit, really stood out from everyone else, especially their lead singer, 17 yr old Amber Collins. So, I went to Amazon and bought their CD. It is everything I wanted in a bluegrass CD. In my opinion this is the first bluegrass group that seems to have the makeup and potential of AKUS in that the group has a top line singer as well as top line pickers. Amber has a voice that is both powerful and very enjoyable to the ear. "She's been singing since she was two years old and toured with the Country Gospel Music Association where she was the Teenage, Young Performer, and A capella Artist of the Year from 1998 - 2002" (per her bio info in the CD notes). All of the pickers are outstanding and their Banjo player, Steve Barr, writes many of their songs. So, my recommendation is to buy this enjoyable CD then watch this fledgling group on it's way to becoming one of the top bluegrass groups in the country.

We saw this band live in Virginia and fell in love with their sound. The are very entertaining and the lead singer has a pure, pitch-perfect voice. A great listen.

The band is tight, fast and professional. And the lead singer is something special. As the poster before me wrote, this is perfect pitch, and also a strong voice, can hold an ascending note for multi-seconds at a time.

i said to me wife, this is a voice that can shatter glass.

i see they just had their first release, and i intend to buy.

i feel they will have many more releases as the lead singer is young, quite confident , and i sense a well deserved ambitiousness as i feelNoSpeedLimit will not be an unknown quantity much longer, this will be a Blue Grass Headliner soon enough.
