This is a 7 track "Mini" CD --a type that we'll probably be seeing a lot more of in the future. It gives the group ample time to make their statement, which in this case is another top-flight offering of hard-driving, well arranged Bluegrass. Lawson's band is now a 7-piece outfit that includes dobro and good lead vocals by Mike Rogers and Corey Hensley. The songs are all secular Bluegrass with the exception of an extended rendition of the classic gospel song PRECIOUS MEMORIES (an impressive performance and arrangement, though it borders on being a bit too slick and overdone). There is also one instrumental, Lawson's own original GREENBRIER HOP that features his mandolin in a non-standard tuning --a nice job here. As expected, a good, solid record.
