Acoustic stringed instrument lovers, take note!.......2005-10-20

My first introduction to Al Petteway and Amy White was the "acoustic Journey" album that I received by donating to National Public Radio. As an acoustic guitarist myself, I really appreciated the great talent and wonderful arrangements. Curious, I checked Amazon.com for more of their music and was attracted to "Land of the Sky" which focused more on southern Appalachian folk music, albeit in a more stylized form. Still, I found it very soothing and at times, emotional, especially the intrumental version of "Shady Grove". I also bought the "Holiday Sampler" because it's a wonderful alternative to the traditional music-box albums I normally play at Christmas time. I'd give it three thumbs up if I had them!

Both original and traditional compositions of mountain melodies .......2005-08-07

When the Scots, Irish, Welch, and English settlers populated the mountain valleys, hills, and mountains of Southern Appalachia, they brought their music with them as an integral part of their culture. In Land Of The Sky, Al Petteway and Amy White deftly collaborate to memorably perform within that Southern Appalachian music tradition and heritage for the benefit and delight of a new generation of listeners with recorded performances that include both original and traditional compositions of mountain melodies played on acoustic guitars, the mandolin, the Celtic harp, the banjo, fiddles, the Irish Bouzouki, Fretless Bass, percussion, and vocals. Entertaining listening with a total running time of 53:06, the fourteen pieces comprising this outstanding and recommended CD for personal, music department, and community library New Age & Contemporary Folk Music collections include Black Bear's Picnic (4:16); Shady Grove (4:39); Across the Blue Mountains (4:11); Bobcat in the Brambles (3:03); Sunny Day (3:08); Pretty Polly (4:00); A Walk in the Woods (4:20); Western Highlands (3:30); Wayfaring Stranger (4:33); The Cuckoo (2:42); Swannanoa (4:44); Ryan's Rambles (4:05); Trillium Waltz (2:33); and the title piece, Land of the Sky (2:58).

A fan from Arlington, VA........2005-05-05

While I do not consider myself an expert in acoustic guitar music, I have over the years collected and listened to a lot of such music. Like most everyone, I know what I like, and I like the music of Al Petteway and Amy White a great deal.

This CD may be their best. It is musically rich and as all are of their CDs, it is innovative. A good example of that is their version of the standard folk song, "Pretty Polly".

There is not a bad cut on the CD, and like other great artists, the CD's theme of an Appalachian journey not only holds together, it works quite well. I have listened to this CD over and over and find something new every time. This is one to buy and keep.

OverLooked Bluesmen Take Center Stage!.......2001-11-01

Hasting Street Grease focuses on some lesser-known bluesmen from Detroit who span the late 40's to present time. The featured musician's style is not unlike that of some well-known Chicago Bluesmen. However, for the most part, the Motor City focused more of it's attention to generating the soulful R&B sound of Motown rather than on the blues.

The CD's highlights are probably two songs from Eddie Guitar Burns who was a former partner of John Lee Hooker. Burn's harp work on "Dixie Boogie" and his guitar playing on the slow blues number "Stop Lying" are exceptional. Also putting in a fine performance on the disc is another Hooker man, Eddie Kirkland, who is featured on three tunes. Also, for pure raw emotion there is the upbeat, standout by Harmonica Shah, "Old Time Use To Be."

The CD makes a marginally good case that Motown has more to offer than just R&B. It's actually good stuff and if you like the raw blues of yesteryear, you should give it a listen.
