“The interplay between DeMasters on electric guitar coming from one speaker, and Rod Freeman on acoustic guitar coming from the other, is a delight. Joined by bassist Craig Akin, they turn “Bye Bye Blackbird” into a sonata for three stringed instruments.”
“The sense of ease and comfort on this album is usually found on live rather than studio recordings. This is nowhere more apparent than on ‘Lullaby of Birdland’ where considerable liberties are taken with the melody line, to good effect. Good stuff all around.”
