It's no criticism of Karl Shiflett and his band to say they're living in the past. Recording around a set of vintage RCA Ribbon microphones, orchestrating each fiddle and mandolin break and each passionately harmonized chorus as if in homage to the sound and style of early Flatt & Scruggs and the original Blue Grass Boys, Shiflett positively nails the primordial dynamics of classic bluegrass. More impressively, he does so with a set dominated by original material. One of the best songs, banjo picker Jake Jenkins's mournful "Another Day," mirrors spare Carter Family ballads and perfectly suits Shiflett's homespun, twangy tenor. In Full Color is old-school bluegrass, and what it lacks in adventure and invention, it more than makes up for in heart, skill, and charm. --Roy Kasten

4 out of 5 stars I stumbled across it and really enjoy it ..........2002-06-28

... and, no, it's not just because we have the same last name!

I purchased this CD last year and took it with me when I went on deployment to the Arabian Gulf. On Sept. 11th, my ship went on high alert, and we went several weeks of long days with no port calls (or even plans for them). I must have listened to the CD 200 times in three months. One particular track, entitled "Another Day", about patience and faith, helped me to get through that long, hard period keeping (most of) my wits about me. Thanks.

5 out of 5 stars Great old-fashioned, country-tinged bluegrass... :-).......2001-12-15

Wow! What a stunner...!! These Texas fellas have the old-style bluegrass sound down so well that when this disc starts belting out your speakers, you might do a double-take wondering if you bought an old Flatt & Scruggs album or some old Bill Monroe by accident. No fooling -- they're really that good, and they have that old-time sound. Recording through vintage equipment explains part if it, but how *anyone* in this day and age can sound so durn authentic is still pretty impressive! If you like the traditional, driving classic sound of late-'40s bluegrass, then you owe it to yourself to check these guys out!

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have.........2001-03-18

Some things just can't be described in words, they have to experienced and this is very true regarding this CD. Listening to this CD was a joy, to say the least. The only thing better than this CD, is seeing them perform in person. They have captured the spirit of all the many past great legends in bluegrass and rolled them up into one fantastic package, then sprinkled it with their own spirit. This is not a CD you just listen to, you actually experience it. Don't miss it. ST

    Album Description

    John Beltran's "In Full Color" is his sixth album and he dives deeper into his latin roots but also brings the music full-circle integrating the ambient warmth and electronic sounds found on his first few albums. Beltran spent the time to make sure the album's tracks, whether it be full-on club tunes like "Kissed By The Sun" (described by XLR8R as a "sunny, conga-fueled samba shuffle") or "Candela" ("An absolute stormer!" exclaims Rainer Trüby), the more ambient passages like "Rain In Shibuya" and "Pictures And Indian Summer" or bossa tunes like "Dia Brioso," were as big and bold or as subtle and musically engaging as they could and should be. With lush pads and chord progressions fused with Latin vibes, rhythm programming, soaring vocal chorus, live performances and vocal collaborations this album showcases the growth of a unique producer/composer and catches him in full color. Helping reach this next level are very special guests from around the world: Producer Andreas Saag and partner/amazing vocalist Elsa Hedberg from Sweden (of Stateless, Swell Session, etc) collaborated on the enchanting "Starlight Memories." The multi-talented vocalist and keyboard player Ayro and fellow Detroit guitarist/producer John Arnold are all over the album. Colonel Red appears on "Your Colors." Lastly, the Candela Arts crew, including Local 12 (Turntables On The Hudson, etc), from Puerto Rico round out the long distance collaborations. In fact at the recent Candela Arts festival in Puerto Rico dubplates of "Candela" were thoroughly rinsed by the all-star DJ line-up and the tune quickly became a party anthem in old San Juan.

    This CD is one of the best purchases I have added to my collection. Love the latin influenced house. A must have for all that appreciate live music jazzanova style.

    My 7 week old loves this CD too!!

    Enjoy,

    5 out of 5 stars John Beltran Delivers - Again!.......2004-06-06

    As someone who loves electronic music and house, I've experienced and enjoyed a lot of styles of electronic music. But John Beltran has made me love the Latin-influenced house that he brings with every album. The complex rhythms improve on the standard 4/4 of "average" house and the instrumentation brings a sunny vibe that you can't help but dance to. Ever prolific, this is his second album in as many years. Many thanks to the folks at Ubiquity for bringing the kind of music that is consistently brilliant, obviously crafted by musicians who love and take care in what they do.

    5 out of 5 stars Incredible.......2004-03-04

    Johnny B could make electronica fans out of 90 yr. old grandmothers from Lithuania. I listen to two artists in the "electronic" genre with any regularity; John Beltran is one of them. This album is phenomenal in both its scope and composition. Every track is a contribution, and they're all complementary. I got my version from Itunes - go make the boys at Apple happy, and get your music faster than it takes to nuke a hot dog.
