One of the best albums I have now!!!!! May 7, 2008 John Godfrey (Troy, NY United States) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The music is just amazing. Such a great combination of bango, violin and cello. The album is definitely in a league of its owns. This is a must buy album.

Fabulous from start to end. Especially if you like to hear musical traditions fused (which any Bela fan is used too), this is a can't miss album.
I expected better August 18, 2008 Frederick Bott (New Orleans) 1 out of 7 found this review helpful
I was interested because Bela Fleck was in the group. There was not enough of Bela, and far too much of Abigail whose voice and songs totally turned me off.
Bela Fleck's involved. How can it be bad? August 8, 2008 Brian Nadata (Long Island, NY) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first cut I heard from the CD (and why I bought it) was A Fuller Wine. I recognized Bela Fleck's banjo immediately, but the progressions hooked me. The remakes on traditional songs with the New Grass feel are fresh. The Chinese Folk songs aren't my bag, but on the overall, a good listen.
Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet August 17, 2008 Kay M. Haun (Goose Creek, SC USA) Fabulous creation! Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck are two of my favorite artists, so when I heard they had recorded together, naturally I hurried to Amazon to listen to some tracks. Each track is unique--her voice is splendid--musical accompaniment virtuoso, of course--some pieces are haunting, some jolly, and the Chinese influence gives an exotic yet clean flavor to the tracks demonstrating it. This CD fits no category--just a glorious experience.
