Editorial Review: Amazon.com: With the help of some friends (James Taylor and Alison Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string passages, a homage or two to Copland, and plenty of tracks where Meyer's bass vamps with the best of them. This is reflective (and relaxing) music, lacking the intricate structure of classical music and the rough edges of folk. But, boy, is it catchy! Yo-Yo Ma fans may be disappointed to hear that--aside from the gorgeous "Duet for Cello and Bass"--the cellist takes more of a supportive role on this disc. Still, this is fun music, more intimate than Short Trip Home (Meyer's other crossover project for Sony), but still lively (just check out "1B" or "Caprice for Three"). --Jason Verlinde Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - RefreshingA most interesting and varied collection ....beautifully put together and recorded...Appalachian at it's finest and all topped off by Yo Yo Ma.... Tracks #6 and #14 and are particularly beautiful and moving Rating: - How to drive Route 88 S from Albany to BinghamtonBy putting this CD into the player about 20 minutes into the drive and letting the music contrast and compare itself to the beauty of the countryside. Rating: - Appalachian Journey CDThis is a really beautiful CD. The added vocals of James Taylor is a great plus. It skillfully and beautifully blends elements of traditional, blue grass, classical, and even Jazz into a most enjoyable and soothing musical experience. Would love to see them produce more of the "same". Rating: - Best on the Planet!These are flawless preformances of great music by some of the most talented artists on the planet. Slumber My Darling will leave you so relaxed you'll have to remember to breathe. The reels will bring you to your feet. This music reaches the soul as well as the ear. Rating:  - StiltedI suppose you will enjoy this if you really like Yo-Yo Ma at his most boring. This is glorified elevator music and about as interesting. |
