Stone Coal solid.......2001-04-10

If you happen to be a fan of any or all of the musicians in NewGrange then it'd do you well to purchase this cd. This cd would also be a good place to start if you haven't heard these people before. This cd has a down-home rural feel that is all but impossible to love (unless of course you hate that sort of thing). I wasn't too familiar with Tim O'Brien back when I bought this cd but now I am a growing fan. His vocals are fantastic on Rock In A Weary Land and Stone Coal West Virginia. Not that this is a vocal cd though, most of the tracks are beautiful instrumentals... from raucous hoedowns to yearning ballads.

Most of all, don't confuse this cd with some sort of pop-country fluff. Rural? Yes. Pop-country? No. This cd has great songs and compositions, masterful solo breaks, and tons of heart and soul.

In rock there is the "supergroup"... those bands that happen every once in a while where already famous people get together and do an album, usually an album that ends up sounding cluttered, as if too many cooks (and celebrity ego's) are in the kitchen. NewGrange could be considered a supergroup of sorts since every member of the group is such a musical giant, the difference here though is that ego's have been set aside and the sole focus is on being a true musical unit. They bring out all the melodic beauty in this material and make you want to dance around your back porch.

Unique, raucous, warm, exuberant music........2000-03-04

A supergroup that's more than the sum of its parts.......2000-02-07

Newgrange is the brilliant Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, Alison Brown, Todd Phillips, Philip Aaberg and Tim O'Brien. They released the incomparable A Christmas Heritage last year; this disc ranges a little wider in mood and style. Absolutely first-rate acoustic roots music.

+1/2 -- Acoustic Americana goes global for Christmas.......2005-12-19

This acoustic Americana sextet (Phillip Aaberg, Darol Anger, Alison Brown, Mike Marshall, Tim O'Brien and Todd Phillips) mixes string-band bluegrass with American jazz and British folk traditions on this reissue of their 1998 debut. The material blends traditional European material with American gospel, and the arrangements range from contemplative (almost New Age) piano interludes to hoedown-styled fiddle and lively gypsy jazz. O'Brien sings "Greensleeves," "In the Bleak Midwinter," and "Go Tell it on the Mountain," and the remaining performances are instrumental. This reissue includes a bonus track of "While Roving on a Winter's Night," recorded live in 1999. This would make a nice addition to any string-fan's holiday CD carousel, providing background music that's punctuated by a few upbeat tunes to fill the conversational gaps. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.

Beautiful music that will touch your heart.......2004-11-14

A must buy CD! David Swan Montgomery has an amazing range of his voice. This CD takes you from calm carefree melody to cries of passion and sadness. You can hear the emotions in his voice and feel the music in your heart.

This will be #1 in all charts. Let the World know!.......2003-09-20

Take a look at all `superstars'. Not one is alike. Yet, what do they have in common? The answer is simple and any reputable record company, promoter, manager, film maker, art director, concert producer, etcetera, smirk at the answer: Uniqueness, Style, and Magnetism. David Swan Montgomery has a trademark voice, proving effortless these implausible qualities, while his music reaches the highest intensity and connects to us, music lovers, in the most pleasant and intoxicating way.

If this record is amazing, I wonder what the next one would be like. Don't you?
