Lost in the Lonesome Pines

Amazon.com
Beyond his devoted alt-country following, Jim Lauderdale is best known as the writer of mainstream hits for superstars like George Strait and the Dixie Chicks. Yet the North Carolina-born singer-songwriter first came to Nashville as a bluegrass picker. And on this exuberant follow-up to I Feel Like Singing Today, their Grammy-nominated 1999 collaboration, Lauderdale and bluegrass king Ralph Stanley, backed by Stanley’s longtime band, the Clinch Mountain Boys, put their voices and hearts together on 14 down-home selections (most written or cowritten by Lauderdale). Cuts range from lighthearted high-lonesome celebrations ("Quit That" and "She’s Looking at Me") to fervent gospel outings like "Zacchaeus," "Oh Soul!" and "Listen to the Shepherd." As both a writer and singer, Lauderdale demonstrates both an abiding affection for and intuitive grasp of bluegrass music. --Bob Allen

Outstanding bluegrass featuring the IMMORTAL Ralph Stanley.......2006-03-27

I've always enjoyed Jim's work with the equally legendary Dwight Yoakam, and here, with the one-of-a-kind voice of Ralph Stanley he pieces together a collection that is perfect for your long backcountry road trip. Even though some of the songs are into religion (YUCK) you just flat-out won't mind as every track is so damn good.

+ 1/2 stars...Even Better Than the First Collaboration.......2004-02-29

On his second collaboration with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys (the first was 1999's equally excelent I FEEL LIKE SINGING TODAY), Jim Lauderdale has bested himself. Not only is the playing as stellar as on the earlier effort, but Lauderdale's compositions are even stronger this time out. Chalk it up to experience or confidence (or both), but this is a terrific bluegrass album. This time out all but one of the songs were written or co-written by Lauderdale. The lone exception is the Bill Monroe-penned "Boat of Love."

Once again Lauderdale teams up with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter on two songs, the bouncy "Deep Well of Sadness" and the mournful "Oh Soul!" Personal favorites include "Quit That," "Redbird," and the comical "She's Looking At Me." The album closes with the a capella "Listen To the Shepherd," a gospel number with Ralph Stanley's haunting lead vocals.

This is one of the finest bluegrass albums released in recent years. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Loving the Lonesome Pines.......2003-09-13

I am a fairly new fan of bluegrass--but I did get into it several years before the "O Brother Where Art Thou" craze so thankfully I can't be grouped in with the SUV driving yuppie newbies who have just discovered it is cool. I love the fact bluegrass is now getting the recognition it deserves, and this album is so good--it's beyond words. The title song is the best on the album--so hauntingly beautiful. Ralph Stanley's voice brings me to tears. This is a great album for anyone's bluegrass collection.

Very Nice.......2003-08-17

It usually takes several listens for me to get into new music. This CD sounded great the first time. It is actually better than their first collaboration (which was nominated for a Grammy).

Can't Stop.......2002-08-04

I cannot stop playing this CD. It's that good. Uplifting music for a sunny Saturday morning, or anytime really. The tunes are instantly sing-a-long-able.
