This album shines with two musicians who absolutely love what they do, and are terrific both at contra-focused instrumental music and songs! The sheer energy of the reels (especially Master Crowley's, which I'm obsessed with) is stunning, and the banjo picking on Lonely Road and others begs me to listen to it again and again. I'm not the biggest fan of all the styles on the album, but I can tell that the musicians' hearts are behind it, and that's good enough for me overall! Micah Walter
