2004 - incl. booklet - Lorraine Jordan of the band Carolina Road has produced this interesting and nicely done collection of 13 recordings by an even dozen women. Most of the vocals feature Kim Fox, Honi Deaton, Dale Ann Bradley or Gena Britt, all of them outstanding vocalists. The picking, which is also excellent, is handled by different combinations of Britt or Kristen Scott Benson (banjo), Cindy Cashdollar (dobro), Missy Raines (bass), Michelle Vance and Deanie Richardson (fiddles) and Lorraine Jordan (mandolin). The songs are a good mix of new and old and include LONE TREE STANDING, THE SWEETEST GIFT, JESUS HOLD MY HAND, I HOPE YOU HAVE LEARNED, POOR LITTLE SADIE, BLUER THAN BLUE, etc. A nice idea, well-executed.
