Up in the Woods liner notes

Here’s one beauty of an album. John Reischman makes it strong, pretty, clean and rich, no matter what the mood or tempo. And as a bonus, he’s given us a blast of high pedigree, spanking new original tunes that pretty much cover the entire rooted landscape of Bill Monroe’s music. John’s got a hell of a backup band, too. They can burn bright and lonesome on such tunes as Low Gap, sweet-bluesy and gentle on a gem like The North Shore.

I’ve had the the pleasure of playing with John on too few occasions over the years, and always come back home thinking I should move to the West Coast to put something together with him. He inspires leaves one wondering, “Why isn’t this guy rich and famous?”

John is one of the few who manages to combine heart and technique in his playing. He’s precise, but in being so never sacrifices the soul of his music. Just drop the digital needle on Alexandra Waltz, and you’ll see what I mean.
