Tight, sister-like harmonies, soulful vocals and stripped-down fiddle
and guitar duo arrangements. Simply fantastic.

1 – (3:21) Long Time Gone* Lovely mid-tempo rendition of the Tex Ritter song.
2 – (3:17) A Distant Land To Roam* Soaring vocals & harmonies, terrific.
3 – (1:53) Train On The Island Up-tempo & old-timey stomp.
4 – (3:10) Sittin’ Alone In The Moonlight* Spare & deliberate take on Bill Monroe song.
5 – (2:16) Red Rocking Chair* Moody & modal, haunting.
6 – (2:31) I Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow* Upbeat version of A.P. Carter song, nice.
7 – (3:37) Your Lone Journey Doc & Rosa Lee Watson song, decent.
8 – (1:42) Cheyenne* Very good duo treatment of Monroe fiddle tune.
9 – (3:17) Cold Rain And Snow* Swinging & up-tempo take on traditional classic.
10 – (2:09) Blues In My Mind* Sweet harmonies & playing, terrific track.
11 – (2:38) Dark As The Night, Blue As The Day* Another standout track, mournful.
12 – (2:02) Bonaparte’s Retreat* Lovely instrumental, tempo picks up.
13 – (3:31) Beautiful Hills of Galilee A capella vocal duo, decent.
