This is a power packed, dynamic recording featuring the excellent 5-string banjo playing of Dan Menzone. His partner here is the well known brother of Tony, Ron, and the late Larry Rice, though Wyatt keeps pretty much in the background here. They are in fact supported by a group of top-flight Bluegrass musicians including Don Rigsby, Rob Ickes, Adam Steffey (Mandolin) and Fred Carpenter who does some outstanding fiddling on the project. Of the dozen cuts here, five feature good vocals by Russell Moore, Don Rigsby, Richard Bennett, and Dale Ann Bradley Moore s singing on LONESOME HIGHWAY and BIG BLACK WHEELS is outstanding, as is Rigsby s work on I LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE and I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LONESOME. The remaining 7 cuts are all original instrumentals by Menzone (except for Bill Keith s BEATING AROUND THE BUSH). If anything, Menzone s playing is a bit frenetic at times (the CD could have profited from one or two slower, change of pace cuts). But his picking is clean, driving and tasteful, and he gets a fine tone out of his Stelling banjo. GREY RAIN, FIVE PLAY, CUTTING THE CHORDS, etc --Dave Freeman - County Sales Newsletter
