Great songs, sweet harmonies, and virtuoso picking (and blowing, I guess, can't forget that mean bluegrass flute!), with a taste of everything from spacegrass to gypsy jazz to Dead-influenced acoustic folk-rock to straight-up bluegrass. Idaho Pines, Well-Oiled Machine, Firefly, and Butch and Peggy are all standout tracks, but everything here is worth downloading.
just get all of them....you won't be disappointed, blugrass fan. HBR is one of the best new acts AROUND!
Known for their stunning instrumental and vocal virtuosity, Hot Buttered Rum has become one of the hottest touring draws in the country as well as one of the most innovative roots-based musical acts on the scene. With one foot in the door of traditional bluegrass and the other wildly stepping into a vast musical universe, their sound is as familiar and inviting as it is fresh and original, seamlessly weaving elements of folk, rock, reggae, and bluegrass within the fabric of intelligent and inspiring songwriting. Well-Oiled Machine, produced by acoustic music guru Mike Marshall, features eleven tracks that are destined to push the boundaries of bluegrass. The songs are laden with hooks, melodies, and lyrics that can only be described as timeless. Guest performers include Mike Marshall, Darol Anger, and Peter Rowan.
