+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+

| |

| Very few bluegrass musicians get to enjoy the kind of apprenticeship |

| that Dan Paisley experienced as he was coming up: 32 years as a sideman |

| to his father, the legendary Bob Paisley. After the elder Paisley's |

| passing in 2004, his son and the remaining bandmembers eventually |

| decided to carry on both the band's activities and its name. This album |

| is the second recorded product of that decision, and it does indeed |

| continue the tradition of straight-ahead, hard-edged traditional |

| bluegrass that was Bob Paisley's strength. Dan Paisley's voice is |

| suitably reedy and high-pitched, but it also has a graininess and lower |

| -frequency resonance that sets it apart somewhat from the bluegrass |

| mainstream. The songs are, for the most part, well-selected: after a |

| slightly disastrous opening (Chris Stuart's tear-jerking "Don't Throw |

| Mama's Flowers Away" is shameless even by bluegrass standards), the |

| program settles into a pleasing groove, and includes such fine |

| selections as Little Jimmy Dickens' regretful "Another Bridge to Burn," |

| the band's own adaptation of the string band classic "Sally Ann," and |

| the Porter Wagoner composition "I Thought I Heard You Calling My Name" |

| (notice the way the walking bassline powers that song forward without |

| making it sound any less like bluegrass). Everything is played with fire |

| and conviction. Recommended. |
