"The angel-voiced Bradley is one of the finest talents in bluegrass."

Product Description

Catch Tomorrow showcases Bradley in the company of some very special guests including Jim Lauderdale, Tim O'Brien, Jeff White, Steve Gulley (Mountain Heart) and producer Alison Brown. Stand out tracks include an exquisite gospel duet with Larry Sparks on "Pass Me Not", a traditional country duet with Marty Raybon (Shenandoah) on "Holding on to Nothing" and a collaboration with Irish super group Lunasa. She also delivers some hard driving bluegrass on the self-penned "Run Rufus Run", "Julia Belle" and the soon to be classic "Rita Mae" with the help of her past and current band mates including Michael Cleveland and Jesse Brock.

4.0 out of 5 stars Top-flight traditionalist bluegrass, beautiful voice, October 11, 2006

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

A wealth of talent backs truegrass song stylist Dale Ann Bradley on her latest album... Next to Bradley's ever-satisfying vocals, fiddler Michael Cleveland provides some of the most consistently sweet playing on here; Compass Records' own Alison Brown plunks the banjo throughout, while Jim Lauderdale, Larry Sparks, Stuart Duncan and Todd Phillips also rub elbows with Bradley's band. Probably the strongest collaboration comes from ex-Shenadoah vocalist Marty Raybon, who digs deep into the a heartrending duet, "Holding On To Nothing," helping impart as much pathos into it as the Porter Wagoner/Dolly Parton original. Another highlight comes with Bradley's version of Billy Joe Shaver's "Live Forever" which is as eerie and powerful here as in Shaver's original version. Bradley is one of bluegrass music's great hidden weapons, with one of the style's finest voices. She puts her heart into her work, and plays with grit and fire. She also writes some really nice songs, as the remainder of this record amply demonstrates. Slick and twangy, bouncy and smart, this is a 'grass album worth checking out

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Buy, May 15, 2008

By	James W. Durney (Tampa Bay area) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Many reviewers observe that this artist has a great voice for Bluegrass. They say that she has the ability to deliver a song that can catch and hold your attention. I concur, she is an excellent singer, a confident performer and a joy to hear. While she is an excellent reason to buy this CD, the tracks make this a very good buy too. Starting with Rita Mae, there is one fine song after another. Rita Mae, Run Rufus Run and Memories, Miles and Tears should become standards that will get radio play for years. Each of these songs could be an anchor for a CD. Holding on to Nothing, while not a new song fits into the selections and is excellent. Live Forever and I Can't Stand the Rain are lush productions that contrast nicely with Grandma's Gift and Pass Me Not. The only missed note, for me, was the last track Me and Bobby McGee. It is not that this is poorly done or hard to hear. It is just not the Joplin version and I have never felt that could be improved on. Overall, you get 12 songs, three are great eight are above average and one is likable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bluegrass music full of heart and soul., January 9, 2007

By	Bluegrass Girl (Lexington, Kentucky, USA) - See all my reviews

This CD of Dale Ann Bradley's "Catch Tomorrow" is filled with a variety of Bluegrass music straight from the heart. Bradley's voice is soulful and genuine and the fiddling by Michael Cleveland is as good as any ever heard. Highly recommended.
