Candlewyck, Candlewyck, votive records (2001)
Candlewyck is an award winning newgrass group from North Carolina that is reinventing bluegrass music. They play high energy progressive bluegrass. I especially liked the instrumentals, but even their traditional bluegrass has unique elements. Best for me: 3 ,4 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,13
3:06 1. Med - traditional bluegrass with emphasis on vocal harmonies
2:52 2. Fast - Traditional bluegrass with fancy finger picking
3:21 3.* Med - BG instrumental. Memorial to Rusty, one of the man’s best friends
3:23 4.* Med - Civil war song about a child’s best friend (his dog!)
4:00 5. Med - BG instrumental
3:22 6.* Ned - Rock and roll energy with hints of BG
1:00 7.* Med - Called “Give Me a Minute” and it is a 60 second song
3:09 8.* Med/Fast - BG instrumental
3:56 9.* Slow - Mellow BG instrumental
2:09 10. Med - traditional BG
2:06 11. Med - BG instrumental
3:32 12. Slow/Med - Mellow instrumental
1:40 13.* Med - bonus track, BG in a storm
