"I am extremely proud of the new BR recording because we produced it ourselves, did the arrangements, and picked what I believe is really strong material. It is a good representation of what we are on stage and displays a good musical variety. There is good mix of styles for die hard bluegrass folks and for new listeners.” states Balsam Range mandolin player Darren Nicholson. Executive Producer Mickey Gamble adds “Balsam Range has come a long way with their first release and this sophomore effort is full of the kind of songs that remind us of why we love Bluegrass.”
