As the special guests on this CD include heavyweight session cats such as Victor Wooten and Paul Franklin, it's clear that Mr. Grier has some quality musical pals. The layout of the CD and its origins suggest a country flavour, but there's rather much more to it than that. While the moody opening track suggests elements of post-Dire Straits Mark Knopfler, the next one is full of delightfully jaunty finger-picking.

Evocative is an appropriate album title because the third track is exactly that. There's a change of mood for a Celtic-flavoured "Two Turns Home," followed by a bluesy little track which is the shortest on the CD.
There's a definite Knopfler feel to "Four Dogs Jogging," and it's a real feel-good track. David finger-picks his way through "Teela" with Paul Franklin's pedal steel swooping in and out while Stuart Duncan's fiddle adds a melancholy feel to a number which reminds this listener of some of the later Chet Adkins repertoire. In contrast, bluesy Hammond is in support on the rather more hard edged "What a Way to Go" with David wailing to good effect. The Cd title is once again demonstrated to good effect on the final two tracks.

Difficult to categorise, but a thoroughly listenable album with fine playing on an all-original set.  George Geddes
