hot platter! O SISTER! THE WOMEN'S BLUEGRASS COLLECTION
-
There are arguably more great female bluegrass singers working now than ever before, and many of them have recorded for the Rounder label. The evidence is on this compilation, one of the strongest bluegrass collections we've heard in years (regardless of the performers' gender!). How could it miss, with nineteen tracks from Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent, Claire Lynch, the Cox Family, Hazel Dickens, Lynn Morris, Ginny Hawker, and more? There's one previously-unreleased track, a live romp through "Eight More Miles" with Lewis, Lynch, Vincent, and Morris. Marty Godbey's notes articulately describe all the artists and their growing significance within the traditionally-male-dominated world of bluegrass. But even more than his essay, the proof is in this extraordinary music.
