  • We Say...

    Much like Hot Rize, the Duhks don’t play a brand of bluegrass that’s so progressive that it turns off purists of the genre nor does it sound so old-timey that potential fans might be turned off by the stench of stale conservatism. Maybe that’s why the group brought on Tim O’Brein, Rize’s braintrust, to help produce their 2006 record, Migrations. Whatever the reason, the results are excellent: the group’s cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Mountain O’ Things” is so buoyant that it almost makes you forget the cloying lyrics, while singer Jessee Harvey’s sole songwriting contribution “Out of the Rain” is a beautiful ballad of liberation. Less slick than its predecessor and more vibrant because of it, Migrations is a treasure for fans of roots music new and old.
