Amazing and Haunting
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I never heard of Abigail Washburn until her interview on NPR. After hearing a few sound clips I was incredibly intrigued to hear the rest of her albums. This is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard and her music at times is utterly haunting. You will not be disappointed by this album or any of her other albums. Abigail Washburn is a diamond in the rough.
My introduction to folk music
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Don't own another folk album and I don't think I've ever written an amazon review, but this album moves me that much. Thank you ABC's radio national for playing this wonderful lady on the air and to all you reviewers. She is so wonderful.
Sublime!
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: Sublime! You haven't lived until you've heard bluegrass sung in Chinese. Note that (as of 3/16/08) all 17 out of 17 reviews on this album are 5-star. That should tell you something!
Great album--not the same old thing.
Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: The music here is at once serene and lively. It has a depth that keeps unfolding with repeated listening. There's a real personality to Abigail Washburn's music, and it's a personality worth exploring.

Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)
Review Comments: I've read through these reviews, and so many of them are from people who were blown away at one or another folk festival, and my story is no different. i went to Merlefest, planning to see and be impressed by some of the great olds and maybe some newgrass types as well, but was MOSTLY knocked out, and repeatedly so, by ms. Washburn and her collaborators in Uncle Earl. There were other awesome groups there, like the Redstick Ramblers, Toubab Krewe, oh, lot's of them, but what I still hear in my head weeks later is all Abigail Washburn, and that's a good thing.
