"The Disk"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you have in your hands is the past and future of the resophonic guitar.  Simply put, this recording represents a landmark in exploring the history, diversity, and potential of the instrument more commonly known as the Dobro.  As you listen, this diversity may come as somewhat of a surprise, for your impressions to date of the reso's music may have bounced erratically between tropical islets and Mississippi delta street corners.  Or perhaps you're reminded of the effective winner of bluegrass music's sixth man award--to this day the only instrument to successfully crack the code into the music's highly selective, 5-instrument inner sanctum.
 
    "Whatever your connection to the resophonic guitar you're in for a treat, for this CD represents all of the above and much more.  Whether it's the grind-'em-up bluegrass earthiness of Tab Tabscott's 'Rototiller;' Orville Johnson's unique take on the chestnut 'Down in the Willow Garden;' the classical and jazz overtones of Doug Cox's 'Any Age;' or the all-hands-on-deck Gershwin finale 'Summertime,' this recording won't let
you go.  There's something for everyone here: bluegrass; Celtic; country; cowboy; Hawaiian; blues; jazz; rock; classical; maybe even a hint of new age, all played by a talented, if unlikely, group of suspects--superb Northwest musicians. Celebrate Diversity-Buy this CD."
