The siblings Anissa, Sophia and Anneli Burnett and the English-born guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Geary Allen flesh out 10 detailed and timeless bluegrass tracks.
The cozy and pretty “Blaming You” starts with Anneli’s flowing voice that’s complemented by Allen’s banjo and Tony Dingus’ steel guitar, and “Fool’s Good” follows with Allen’s expressive voice amid Anissa’s meticulous fiddle and rich harmonies.
Halfway through, “Lovesick Blues” is a playful moment thanks to Sophia’s playful bass and frisky yodeling, while “Whispering Wind” offers a dreamy moment via the soft dobro and warm rhythm guitar amid the heartfelt singing.
Getting close to the end, “Song Of The Mountains” benefits from John Gardner’s fluid drums and Lee Bidbood’s well timed mandola, and “Sorrow, Grief And Pain” exits with Dan Boner’s quick fiddle that aligns with much melody and grace in the lush finish.
A top notch meshing of bluegrass, Old-Time and Americana roots, The Burnett Sisters Band are fresh off a #1 hit on the Bluegrass Charts and an IBMA Momentum Award nomination, and it’s pretty likely more accolades are coming thanks to their strong songwriting.
