5.0 out of 5 stars A great listen... over and over again., May 19, 2000

Got this CD as a birthday present a few weeks ago, and I haven't stopped listening to it yet. The first 'bluegrass' CD I've owned, but it's a doozy! Lots of great songs and wonderful instrumentals. I especially liked the songs, "Coal Tatoo" and "Legend of the Ghost Coon"--oh, and "Escape from Taiwan" was amazing! His music is very lyrical and expressive--and incredibly fast!

All in all, a great CD; I hope Johnny Staats makes another one, because I plan to buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE!, March 31, 2000

I'm not usually a bluegrass fan, but I can't get enough of this album! Whether Johnny is playing slow or lightning fast, it's ear candy all the way. I'm always waiting to hear what he'll do next! The vocal songs feature rich harmonies that have you singing along in no time, and the melodies are beautiful. A 'must have' CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Just Won't Believe It..., May 7, 2000

These are the words I find myself and others are saying about this CD. Not only is Johnny quick, (which he is), but the FEELING he puts into this project is what struck me.Living as I do in East TN...a hot bed of Bluegrass...I have been exposed to some of the finest musicians that ever laid a pick to a string. Johnny Staats is among the best of them! This truly comes out on "Wire & Wood".I have a fairly extensive collection of Bluegrass, Folk, and Americana CDs. This disc has been #1 on my "playlist" for weeks. It is well written, performed, and produced. Add to the "Staats Magic", all the great pickers and vocalists heard here and this has the makings of a CLASSIC. No matter if you are a first time Bluegrass buyer or if you remember when Lester and Earl played with Bill Monroe...This CD is a MUST HAVE !
