All Music Guide

Few musicians can breathe life into traditional tunes with the authenticity of Norman Blake, and even fewer can pen original songs that have the same timeless qualities as songs written 100 years ago. This is another fine collection by the master of American song. Indeed, Blake exudes an element of pure Americanism that spares us overt nationalism. And he's one hell of a picker, too.
