A tasty batch of original songs by Andy and Lauren May. The recipe features cuts with a traditional flavor and an innovative zip. The rip-roaring, old-timey "Bound for Tennessee" and the contemporary bluegrass "They Put the Blue in Bluegrass" are tributes to legendary musicians of other eras, and the melody of the title song is based on the old fiddle tune, "Blackberry Blossom." There is also a taste of acoustic rock ("I Think I'll Move"), and contemporary folk ("My Dad") in the mix. There is plenty of food for thought here--as in the gentle, "Love's the Greatest Gift of All" --as well as for the heart and ears. There is heartache in the country ballad, "I'll Meet You in My Memory," and bluesey wistfulness in "Cloudy, With A Chance of Pain" ...balanced by a dollop of humor provided by the swampy "Stan." The musicianship is delectable throughout--"Little Bird," for example, features an ear-catching three-finger roll guitar style Andy began developing in the 1960s. Some of Nashville's top musicians also contribute their own flavor and zest to the project, as do some stellar pickers from elsewhere in the nation. Treat yourself to a taste! (The CD contains a 6-page booklet with lyrics and notes.)
