Hello all, I spent a few hours with Josh and Stu
last week, we played a few notes and had a listen to the Veretski Pass CeeDee.
Its very cool. Very rhythmic. These folks can play. Cookie pulls a great big
waterfall of sound out of her fiddle. Josh's Schrammel Accordion sounds so
string like that the unison with the fiddle sounds like a small string section.
The tsimble playing is great. Stu's work on this CD is amazing, so
focused, so rhythmic, he's an empath of the highest order who seems to know what
you will do before you do. This CD is one of the very best things I have
heard in the style. A trio that sounds like a quintet. Sounds like more
than the sum of its parts. Did I mention that Cookie sounds mahoovalous ?
Standing tall in those custom made boots. Taking charge. Does anyone play
with her drive, commitment and soul ? No one comes to
mind. Al W.
