Straight Drive - I'll Take a Page From Your Book #cw 0205

Shows a fine sense of tradition. At the core of this CD's success is vocalist Jen Larson. She calls on a beautiful blue, throaty quality-at ease shifts to an almost fragile lilt-shows impeccable vocal control. Bluegrass Unlimited- February 2006

Playing traditional bluegrass the way it was meant to be played, Straight Drive comes hurtling at you like a steam-powered locomotive.

STRAIGHT DRIVE–"I'll Take a Page From Your Book"

I was having a conversation with a bluegrass festival MC once when he excused himself with, "I got to go introduce Bill Monroe." It occurred to me that there's a guy who doesn't quite understand what his job is. By the time there existed bluegrass festivals one did not introduce Bill Monroe; one presented him.

Straight Drive plays bluegrass music the way Bill Monroe (and Carter Stanley) conceived of it.
