Carry Me Across the Mountain

Amazon.com
As a veteran of Alison Krauss & Union Station and the Lonesome River Band (not to mention countless country and bluegrass recording sessions), Dan Tyminski had certainly paid his dues before his spot on the O Brother soundtrack brought him worldwide acclaim. The erstwhile Soggy Bottom Boy frontman issued his solo debut a few months before the soundtrack hit, and it features a wide and impressive range of current and former bandmates (including Krauss on a pair of tracks) plus several other A-list instrumentalists. The result is a deftly executed survey of the bluegrass table circa 2000, a menu that includes melodic pop, rousing gospel, hard-driving instrumentals, new compositions in a traditional style, and revived old favorites. --Marc Greilsamer

Dan Tyminski.......2007-07-04

Fantastic album. Dan shines alone with his own album. If you like bluegrass, you eill like this album.

A great singer and picker.......2007-05-11

I love it and give it 5+ stars and all I've heard are the samples. I'm going straight up this page and putting it in my shopping cart. Can't wait to get it. And now I'm going to listen to some more of his albums. Just might buy them too.

half good.......2007-02-10

I was disappointed with this cd. Some of the tracks are quite good in the bluegrass tradition with a bit of a modern edge. While other tracks are better described as contemporary country. In the end about half the cd, the bluegrass half, was quite good. Still, 50% is a big 'F'.

Magnificent!.......2006-01-09

One of my absolute favorite CDs I've ever owned. Dan is a magnificent musician and person. I have seen him perform many times and have met him as well. This cd is one that is always in my cd player. He is an all around talent!!

Simply the best.......2005-10-11

Simply the best picker I've ever heard. Tyminski not have the diversity of Ry Cooder or Eric Clapton, but he's in the same league --- to say the least

The Doobie Shea breakthrough.......2003-09-09

A good friend of mine's family happens to own Doobie Shea records, so needless to say Dan's been around alot longer than "O ' Brother Where Art Thou". I Do have to say that "Carry Me Across the Mountain" envokes traditional bluegrass gospel and does not slack on musical talent. I would suggest this album, and many more under the Doobie Shea label, to any bluegrass fan.If you wish to check out more artists signed by Tim Austin at Doobie Shea, check out ... . And Please support you local musicians.

Bee-You-Tee-Ful Bluegrass.......2003-06-21

Dan is emerging as a leading voice in the Bluegrass scene. His musical inclusion of "Man of Constant Sorrow " from the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou" catapulted Dan into the limelight and greatly widened public awareness of him and Bluegrass Music.
My only criticism of the CD is that the tracks move from "kick-ass" high energy bluegrass to slow romantic bluegrass ballads then back again. Too mood swingish! Otherwise, I highly recommend this CD for anyone's Bluegrass collection.

In my top 5.......2003-06-01

One of the CDs that never stays behind. Every CD has at least one song I have to skip - in this case, it's Please Dear Mommy but the rest of the music is top-notch in my opinion. There are 4 or 5 in my case that get played over and over and over... this is one of them. When Dan comes out with his #2 CD, I'll buy it sight unseen and tune unheard.

Disappointed.......2003-05-12

As a big fan of Union Station and O Brother, I had high expectations for this CD. Boy, was I disappointed. Most of the songs are either trite, sappy or too religious (not traditional gospel). Big, big disappointment.

The Future of Bluegrass Is In Good Hands.......2002-10-07

Since joining Alison Krauss's band Union Station in the late-Nineties, Dan Tyminski's star has been on the rise. With the release of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Tyminki's stock went through the roof. [In case you've been living in a cave for the past couple years, its'sTyminski's vocal on "Man of Constant Sorrow."] This album was released just months before the relase of the OBWAT? soundtrack, and it's filled with wonderful traditional bluegrass music. Tony Rice lends support on a couple tracks as does Alison Krauss along with all the members of Union Station. Favorite tracks include the gospel number "Praise the Lord" (co-written by Tyminski) and the Louvin Brothers cover, "Tiny Broken Heart." With artists like Dan Tyminski to carry the bluegrass torch into the 21st Century, the future of bluegrass looks bright indeed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
