Editor's review
Crank up the Victrola and give a listen as bluegrass-folk outfit the Merritts run through this series of rural, laid-back songs, recorded at home with their late pal, champion fiddler and Nashville session player Randy Howard. The music's low-tech but beautiful, highlighted by melancholy singing and top-shelf picking.

The first bluegrass band I played in during the mid 70's was anchored by 15 year old Randy and his dad, Floyd. We all knew he was destined for a great career. Just how great surprised even his biggest fans for Randy became a twelve time National Fiddle Champion who recorded with Garth Brooks, George Jones, J.D. Crowe, Bela Fleck and a host of others. Janice and I are fully aware of how privileged we were to have had the opportunity to play music with Randy over the years. It was actually this awareness that helped persuade me to buy a multi-track cassette recorder to capture some of these moments. While these “living room sessions” are not studio quality they amply demonstrate Randy’s prodigious talent. Randy moved with ease from state of the art digital studios to our home sessions while always offering us encouragement. Indeed, Janice and I would have never begun to write songs had it not been for his support. We miss you Randy.
