FLASHBACK, "Denver Snow," Pinecastle. 12 tracks
Flashback is a super group formed in 2015, when members of J.D. Crowe's 1995 band decided to reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 1995 Grammy-nominated album "Flashback."
They went on tour with Crowe for a few dates.
But Crowe decided to go back to retirement.
The other three _ Don Rigsby, Richard Bennett and Curt Chapman _ decided they wanted to keep the group together.
So they hired Stuart Wyrick to play banjo in Crowe's stead.
Last year, they released "Foxhounds & Fiddles," an album that charted several bluegrass singles.
"Denver Snow," the latest album, continues the sound they perfected more than 20 years ago.
"Moonshine" is an uptempo song that celebrates rural life.
The title cut is about a woman whose smile kept a man warm until her love for him died in the mountains.
"A Rose from Time to Time" finds a man saying good-bye to a woman but promising to send her a rose occasionally.
"Cowboys and Indians" is an uptempo instrumental.
"It Won't Be Like Cheating" is about a man who's been cheated on and is leaving town.
There are covers of James Taylor's "One Morning in May," the Osborne Brothers' "Take This Hammer" and "Born To Be With You," a 1956 pop hit for the Chordettes and a 1968 country hit for Sonny James.
"Without Mentioning Your Name" and "I'll Be True To The One I Love" are both about a secret love.
"The Letter" tells the story of a letter found in the pocket of a dead homeless man.
And "We Might Get A Little Loud" is about a church where the members shout their love of God.
Good picking. Good singing. Good album.
