Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME Comment: Sammy at his absolute best! Every song is memorable and unique as well as magnificently performed. His cover of Dylan's "Girl of the North Country", my personal favorite, will make you want to move out west just to try to get your heart broken! It is a must have for any music lover! Customer Rating: Summary: Hillbilly garbage Comment: R. Kasten doesn't know what he's talking about because NO self-respecting REAL hippie would EVER listen to any of this hillbilly junk!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent! Comment: I have not listened to anything by Sam Bush before, but he is clearly a stellar mandolin and fiddle player. Not only does Sam play great, he is surrounded by numerous other great musicians. With Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, and numerous others, we have the best newgrass musicians jamming together. Another noticable thing about this disk is in addition to virtuoso playing, Sam Bush sings well. Customer Rating: Summary: STINGRAY!!!!! Comment: Ever since Sam Bush founded the New Grass Revival, purists and pickers of nits the world over have complained, "That ain't bluegrass." Well, it ain't. Ask yourself this question: "Do I want to hear stringed instruments played loud, fast, and well by some of the best musicians the genre has produced?"? Still puzzled? Here's more data - Sam on mando, electric mando, fiddle, and electric guitar. Bela Fleck on banjo with Sammie for a 9 minute acoustic Stingray rager. Another NGR alum, John Cowan showing up for most of the cuts. Sam covers Bob Dylan, Bill Monroe and John Hiatt. The 2 snippets of stage banter from Pastor Mustard. Look, just buy it. Really. Customer Rating: Summary: Super Sammy Comment: I love it. Telluride, one of the most beautiful places on earth and the best place to hear Sam's music. I was lucky to attend this festivals many times and see New Grass Revival here, and it was always like a dream. This new album by Sam is wonderful, great tunes and great players. This is the spirit of Telluride, THE mando king. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Opening with a chant summoning the faithful to worship their idol, Sam Bush's fourth solo recording documents the joy, musicianship, and weirdness that is the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Held every June in the mountains of Colorado, Telluride has become the premier hippie-grass event, and you can chalk up its success in large part to Bush and his old New Grass Revival cohorts. If these 1990s concert recordings are not the best music Bush has made, they're among the most fun. The set moves from a zippy "Girl of the North Country" to blistering jams such as "Big Mon"--featuring the mind-boggling banjo of Béla Fleck--and the seven-minute, electric noodle-off "Speak of the Devil." He also duets with John Cowan on a gorgeous version of Van Morrison's "Hungry for Your Love" and a joyous cover of Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes." Along the way, Bush offers electric guitar licks in addition to his usual fiddle and mandolin breaks, all fascinating as fractals, as well as some underrated lead singing. Beside comrades-in-jam such as Cowan, Jon Randall Stewart, Jerry Douglas, and Larry Atamanuik, Bush couldn't be more in his element or more entertaining. --Roy Kasten
