Curtis McPeake: The View from McPeake ~ Bluegrass Instrumentals
The View From Mc Peake could have been recorded only by someone who has experienced a long and illustrious career. Curtis McPeake is certainly one of the masters of the five-string. [full review]

Whether your musical preference is for Country, Contemporary Folk or Traditional Ballads, you are going to enjoy this CD. It is well recorded, the backings consummately tasteful and never intrusive. From the opening notes... to the final track..., your attention is held. [full review]

Rick Lee: There's Talk About a Fence
Framing an eclectic mingling of songs with his resonant, adaptive and charming voice... Lee appears a musical raconteur.... This is the type of release that sneaks up on the listener..., the appreciation of it ... grows with each playing. [full review]

Rick Lee: There's Talk About a Fence
This is a man who has lived. His voice, rich with experience, knows its way around a song. Andy May produced the CD in perfect sync with Lee, a mostly old-timey sound, highlighting Lee's ability on banjo and keyboards, and May's own talent on guitars and mandolin, or Lee on solo piano/keyboards.

Andy May--Cafe' Americana
Andy May’s grasp of what makes good listening is impeccable. His warm and mellow voice invites the listener to relax and let the music move around the edges of consciousness. He ...cuts to the heart of a concept and brings it to life in song. With samplings of bluegrass, country, folk and acoustic swing styles that evoke many nuances of emotion, ["Cafe' Americana"] is a great album for any collection. Full Text
