Eclectic set exudes originality, tact and innovation.......2005-06-08

Playing Time - 55:04 -- Hailing from Charlottesville, Va., Old School Freight Train is a quintet that chooses bluegrass instruments for their largely original material that incorporates blues, jazz, Latin, swing and rock grooves. Why, they even take on a Celtic motif with an original "Mr. Parshif's Jig" that eventually evolves into the lightning speed of a reel. Their only covers on this project are Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927," both tastefully rendered in fine new acoustic fashion. David Grisman, who guests with his mandolin on "Euridice," offers that the band caught his attention, and they now have a place on the Acoustic Disc label. Joe Craven plays percussion on two tracks.

OSFT's contemporary acoustic music is arranged and built around evocative lyrics which should've been included in the CD jacket. Guitarist Jesse Harper sings with exhilarating electricity, more characteristic of a jazz vocalist. The dynamics in the band's music call for rhythmic and tempo variations that impart power and intensity. Instrumental breaks are shared among all the band members, and their song's appealing melodies are lyrical and fluid.

Besides Harper, Old School Freight Train includes Pete Frostic (mandolin), Ben Krakauer (banjo), Nate Leath (fiddle), and Darrell Muller (bass). The title track and some of the other offerings ("Drama Queen" or "Broken Pieces") have commercial leanings which clearly open up the door for significant airplay. The closer, "Dance" is explosive and distinctive. The band's eclectic nature covers a great deal of ground from bluegrass ("Henry Brown" and "Lookee Here") to R&B ("Superstition") to adventures south of the border ("Tango Chutney" and "Euridice"). Pete Frostic's "Trick Dog" is also a zealous stringed exploration featuring mandocello.

The band has been together since 2000 and won awards at Telluride and Rockygrass. Their first self-titled album came out in 2002. With sound and energy that get an audience to sit up and take notice, OSFT is steaming up the hill of success. Don't let "Run" fool you into thinking that they are suffering from an identity crisis. These boys clearly have the musical acumen to journey into whatever territory their adventurous tastes take them. Their music exudes originality, tact and innovation. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Acoustic Delight.......2005-06-06

I had the unexpected delight last night of seeing this extremely talented quintet at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music. Their fresh sound is accurately captured on this CD.

Old School Freight Train has found a new recipe for making some very tasty music: Two cups of excellent song writing, 5 scoops of instrumental virtuosity (guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass), steamed together with the rhythmic sensibilities of a jazz band, served up with pop-right tightness.

More creative than new-grass, more focused than a jam band, these guys sound like Nickel Creek meet the (American Beauty/Workingman's Dead era) Grateful Dead. Well crafted acoustic music with a focus on the song and the feeling makes this CD something special.

A must have for any music fan.......2005-05-26

I recently attended a concert in Boston in which Old School Freight Train was one of the featured bands. They played some really different music with a great sound. During intermission I purchased the cd "Run" and briefly talked to mandolin player Pete Frostic.I am very glad I did.It is the freshest sound I have heard in a long time. Part bluegrass, part latin, part rock, part blues, even a hint of funk (cover version of the Stevie Wonder song "Superstition" which by the way is really cool). From the very first track "Run" you realise that these kids are really something special. Lead singer and guitarist (also plays some realy kicking percussion) Jesse Harper has an excellent voice which really adds to the bands unique sound. The album is produced by legendary mandolin player David Grisman who does an excellent job producing this album, especially the song "Broken Pieces" an anti war song with some excellent lyrics such as "and when we you learn it's children who get burned when bombs fall in foreign lands" and a really great melody and crisp sound. Another high point is the latin sounding instrumental "Tango Chutney" this song can best be described in 3 letters WOW!I very highly recommend this cd to everyone, especially those who like bluegrass and rock bands like the Grateful Dead. (...)I look forward to hearing more from these guys in the future and I'msure you will too after hearing this cd.

Album Description

Recorded and mixed at bluegrass' famous Doobie Shea studios in Ferrum, VA, and mastered by Bill Wolf of Tony Rice projects, this CD is not your Daddy's bluegrass. Old School Freight music is contagious, rule bending, destined to open some eyes, blur some musical boundaries and create new acoustic fans.

A must have CD.......2004-06-26

OSFT is a tremendously talented group of young people. Their style has a very nice Grissman/Furtado/Fleck quality. Very clean, well recorded and mixed, with great original tunes. If you like bluegrass style or acoustic music type sounds, this CD is a must have. Really, really good.

Old School Freight Train is a must-hear band!!!.......2004-01-16

These guys are amazing musicians with a mature sense of taste and emotion far beyond their years. Their arrangements are intricate and tight and show off their technical dexterity as well as their keen sense of musicality. You will definitely want to keep your eyes on them; they will go far!

New Breed.......2003-03-08

Old School Freight Train's music doesn't fit well into of the usual pigeonholes. Not really bluegrass, not really newgrass, not really jazz, not a jam band. It's original and just is what it is. There seem to be several acoustic bands around these days doing their own thing, and Old School Freight Train is one of the very best.

overrated slop train.......2003-02-12

music is sloppy...not tight at all. latin songs are generic and without any feeling. lyrics are silly and band sounds like your mediocre wannabe newgrass. do yourself a favor and pick up something worthwhile like yonder mountain and leave these kids on the shelf

Not Just Bluegrass!.......2003-01-04

This cd has been in my discman for three weeks now. I love the ecclectic mix of music presented here. This acoustic outfit does Latin, jazz, bluegrass and more. The best part is that all eleven songs on the album are original compositions.

25 Years of Great Bluegrass.......2004-07-14

Doyle Lawson shares 25 years of music in "A School of Bluegrass". This is a unique recording. This 2 disc CD set contains 50 songs. The more I listen to this recording, the more I like it. Be warned, this is not studio quality music. These songs were taken from rehearsal tapes and tapes of live recordings. What you get (Doyle Lawson fans)are many songs that have never been released. If you can get past the quality of the recording, you will find this set to be very entertaining and even surprising.

This bluegrass with vigor is a mighty fine treat.......2004-06-09

Fifty songs on Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver's two CD set, "A School of Bluegrass" is a must-have for every serious bluegrass fan. Interestingly, all cuts were pulled from home rehearsal and live performance tapes that Doyle Lawson had collected over the years. So don't expect perfect studio quality sound, but instead focus on the tightness, depth, passion and vitality that his bands represented. The Kingsport, Tn. native originally formed Quicksilver in 1979, and this release is an historical compilation of 25 years of exceptional bluegrass and gospel music. It just so happens that Doyle also turned the big 6-0 in 2004.
Known as one of the best mandolin players and band leaders in bluegrass, he actually started his professional career as a banjo player (replacing J.D. Crowe in Jimmy Martin's band in 1963).

Over the years since Quicksilver formed, there have been thirteen configurations of Lawson's band, and each and every one has always maintained the very high caliber of music that they have become known for. Some of Lawson's "school of bluegrass" members have included Shawn Lane, Lou Reid, Terry Baucom, Brad Campbell, Shelton Feazell, Mike Hartgrove, Jim Mills, Dale Perry, Scott Vestal, Ray Deaton, Randy Graham, Jimmy Haley, Barry Scott, John Berry, Jr, Curtis Vestal, Steve Gulley, Barry Abernathy, Doug Bartlett, Jimmy VanCleve, Russell Moore, and Hunter Berry.

They received a gold record representing a million dollars in sales for "Rock My Soul," their first all-gospel album. In 1998, they were the first bluegrass band invited to perform at the National Gospel Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Some of their other awards have included the 2000 IBMA Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year ("Winding Through Life") and the 2001 and 2002 IBMA Vocal Group of the Year Awards.

These are some of their more recent accomplishments, but one mustn't lose sight of their early achievements too. One must only listen to a few minutes of Terry Baucom, Jimmy Haley and Doyle Lawson sharing breaks on "Train `45" to understand the power, fervor and intensity with which they approached their craft. This bluegrass with vigor is a mighty fine treat that will allow us all to participate in the silver anniversary of this group. Lawson wanted to do something special for the fans, and we're sure lucky. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

Blue Grass from Oregon?.......2000-07-07

Yes. It's a bluegrass band from Portland, Oregon. And, as far as I can tell, they really do love bluegrass because they do it great. Some of their songs are just hilarious as well. You have got to hear their version of Hot Corn, Cold Corn. I have fits of laughter hearing this song even after about 100 listenings.
