5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, June 5, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Willow (Audio CD)

A wonderful CD. Their version of Dave Carter's "When I Go" is worth the price of 1000 CDs. I've worked as a hunting and fishing guide my whole life and I've heard a lot of real good folk music like they play it in the hills. I can tell you, these women have voices like the angels and they know how to pick a banjo. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great folk-country ensemble, August 6, 2004

I'm starting to become a big fan of Misty River. Their 3rd CD is even better than the first two, and they do a fantastic rendition of Dave Carter's "When I Go". It's too bad Amazon doesn't have any samples of this CD yet, but I would say this CD is closer to Rising than their Live album. I think anyone who likes folk/country singers like Emmy Lou Harris or Allison Kraus will probably like this CD.

First let me say that I am not a folk/bluegrass freak. I have very few albums of this genre. However, as an entire album, they do not get much better than Willow. The original songs and the choice of other material make a superb blend of sentimental and up-tempo songs. I particularly like their rendition of the traditional "These are my Mountains". As noted in the Editorial Review the members of Misty River are more than competent on a wide range of instruments. Upright bass is not an instrument that I listen for but Laura's upright bass playing (particularly on "These are my Mountains" and "Box of Lace") on this album caught my attention as being much better that the typical "thump thump". If you do not find something on this album you really like you had better stick with your gangsta rap.
