Editorial Review:
After switching to big-name British producer John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin fame; he also contributes some instrumental support), this female stringband quartet continues to go wider and deeper in its exploration of acoustic Americana. On their sophomore release, Uncle Earl's balance contributes to their range. Each of the four is a virtuosic musician, all contributing vocals that blend into the buoyant harmonies of "One True," the a cappella shape-note spiritual "Buonaparte," and the field hymn "Easy in the Early ('Til Sundown)." While uptempo fare spotlights the sprightly fiddle of Rayna Gellert, banjoist Abigail Washburn sings a stark meditation on mortality in the revival of Ola Belle Red's "My Epitaph," with guitarist Kristin Andreassen illuminating the vocal purity of A.C. Carter's "The Birds Were Singing of You." As for percussion, Gillian Welch provides guest drums on "The Last Goodbye," and Andreassen's clogging serves as a rhythm track behind Gellert's fiddle on "Sisters of the Road." --Don McLeese

Rating: - A Must-hear album
This is the second album by the current line-up of the "g'Earls" of Uncle Earl (a third album by an earlier lineup is hard to get ahold of). It's to be hoped that the current g'Earls are all aboard for the long haul--as long as they can turn out material like this, they will be on the must-hear list of any fan of bluegrass, old-time country or any kind of "traditional" music.
All four members of the quartet are accomplished instrumentalists. KC Groves, the co-founder of Uncle Earl, ... Read More
Rating: - Uncle earl a pearl to hear
great moments great voices great musicians the record runs in loop you can sing along with the girls or dance with your mates. A bluegrass full of grace.
Rating: - Refreshingly different
If you've never believed that Chinese and Bluegrass had a common meeting point, you've got to hear this CD. As well as traditional bluegrass and a few progressive tracks, this group of highly talented musicians lays down new ground....most excellent
Rating: - Excellent 2nd CD by the g'earls
Not necessarily old-time, nor bluegrass, nor folk, this CD by Uncle Earl is in constant rotation on my car player. They have old-time fiddle tunes that rock but I really love to see them live.
Rating: - Good Ole g'Earls
Uncle Earl is an all-woman, old-time music group. They often refer to themselves as the g'Earls. Their fans have been nicknamed g'Earlfriends, but I think I'll pass on that, although I am a fan. Formed in 2000, Uncle Earl had a few changes of lineup in the early years, but by the end of 2003 the current lineup was complete.
Like all good music, this CD repays repeated listening. There are 16 tracks listed, but it is really 15, because Bonaparte is an intro to Bony on the Isle of St. ... Read More
