What Mike Compton has to say:
"What do you get when you put Scott Gates, Angelica Grim, Victor Skidanenko, Julian Conn Busch and Katie Nakamura together with traditional string band instruments? You get PACIFIC OCEAN BLUEGRASS BAND! Now, I’m not talking about just any bluegrass band, mind you. I’m talking about a group of people who are listening to each other and communicate; who know how to pull tone and play as a group. Nevermind that the oldest persons in the group are a mere 16 years old! If that fact were not known, the music would certainly not give away the you in this group (the combined age of it’s members is only 68!) as they play with much greater understanding and taste than might be expected at first glance.
... Most all the major traditional bluegrass stylists show influence on these youngsters, and there’s a bit of jazz/swing influence too. These songs are played in the voices of the members of PACIFIC OCEAN BLUEGRASS. They play the tunes, not just copy them. Even old standards like “Black Mountain Rag” and “Foggy Mountain Special” sound as if they could have been written recently rather than decades ago.
There is a spirited and intricate interplay ... burning leads or understated and beautifully supportive backup lines. It is all there.
...PACIFIC OCEAN BLUEGRASS is certainly doing their part to ensure a healthy future for string band music with a straightforward and tasteful first effort!"
