Short Trip Home
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for bluegrass music, since it was among my father's favorite things. This CD is not exactly traditional, since it features new compositions by Edgar Meyer, and one solo written by Joshua himself (in "Death by Triple Fiddle"). I must say that I think Joshua captures the essence of bluegrass fiddling very well. I confess to not being especially fond of the Concert Duo, though I like the Prequel. This is probably my own fault (a lack of sophisticated musical ear.) The rest of this CD is very original and lots of fun. I like to imagine Joshua on the bus tour with the other three musicians, traveling around this great country and playing music which represents something completely new to his audiences. He must have enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere very much, and improvising with the other musicians.
