Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Some of the sweetest, most traditional-sounding bluegrass of the decade. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent are both truegrass veterans - Darrin is Rhonda Vincent's brother, and was in her old band The Rage and also worked with John Hartford and Ricky Skaggs; Jamie Dailey sang with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver in the late 1990s, and has been collaborating with Vincent for a several years. Their voices and musical strengths blend beautifully, recalling the harmony vocal tradition of the Stanley Brothers at its finest. About half this album is gospel material, and is as heartfelt and moving as anything you'll hear in the genre. The repertoire includes some excellent modern songs, including gems from the late Randall Hylton as well as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. This is old-school melodic bluegrass at its very best: it really doesn't get any sweeter than this. Highly recommended! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Hick Music)

The most eagerly-anticipated bluegrass debut in recent memory, Dailey & Vincent introduces a powerful new ensemble steeped in bluegrass and country music traditions, but blessed with the drive, talent, and charisma to assert those timeless values proudly onto today's stage. Co-leaders Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have already had a profound impact on much of the best modern bluegrass via their contributions to such estimable performers as Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and Rhonda Vincent & The Rage. Stepping out on their own for the first time, Dailey & Vincent make breathtaking music that seamlessly connects country music's roots in brother duet singing to its future in exhilarating, full-throttle bluegrass - without ever sacrificing heart, sincerity, and soul. "Even before one note of their stunning record had been heard, the pair earned a standing ovation at the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association convention and were booked for more than 100 shows. Now that the album is here, the advance accolades are completely understandable. This is music that can stand side by side with any of the most revered bluegrass discs ever made." - from the liner notes by Robert K. Oermann
