Com:'... remarkable.... acoustically unsurpassed.....' Barnes&Noble:'... lay off the eggnog when you put this disc on...a refreshingly unorthodox approach ....' Needless to say, we are very pleased. Produced by Violinist Peter Hyrka, the album features the sounds of Justin Thompson on guitar, and David Spicher on string bass. Spicher also engineered the recording, which was done at the studio of his legendary father, fiddler Buddy Spicher - the Fiddle House.
