Album Reviews
From Amazon.com

Favorable review in Newsweek brought me to purchase CD.

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: My daughter spent some time working on a boat on the Yangzte River just before SARS broke out. She loved the people and the area and I thought this would be another way to relive the experience for her. She was very pleased with her totally unexpected birthday gift. I read a positive review of this new music in Newsweek which prompted me to listen to the songs on YouTube first.

Sincere

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: This one of the most sincere albums I've ever heard. Abby's voice is truly moving and personal. The musicianship is second to none. I have listened to this album countless times and will surely listen many more.

Patent Lie

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Paul Goldstein is an excellent writer, enjoyed the information about patents, their difficulties regarding their validity.

I expected better

 Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I was interested because Bela Fleck was in the group. There was not enough of Bela, and far too much of Abigail whose voice and songs totally turned me off.

Abigail Washburn and the Sparrow Quartet

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Fabulous creation! Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck are two of my favorite artists, so when I heard they had recorded together, naturally I hurried to Amazon to listen to some tracks. Each track is unique--her voice is splendid--musical accompaniment virtuoso, of course--some pieces are haunting, some jolly, and the Chinese influence gives an exotic yet clean flavor to the tracks demonstrating it. This CD fits no category--just a glorious experience.
