Chris Castino & Chicken Wire Empire
Fresh Pickles
Review by Gary Hill
There has been a real interest in roots music in the last decade or so. If you want new music that has an honest old-school bluegrass sound, I can't imagine you'll find much better than this. The release is varied, entertaining and convincing. I think that if the recording were more in keeping with the old stuff from the genre, you might believe that this is from a by-gone era. I have to think that that would be high praise for practitioners of this style.
