NO DEPRESSION …
The approach Smith and Jones use in performing these songs…
with an emphasis on simplicity and understatement. The results are sometimes
breathtaking, always fresh, yet deeply immersed in the wellspring of old-time
country music.
THE OLD TIME HERALD…
This is a great CD. It succeeds in combining different kinds
of material - fiddle tunes, Carter Family and other country-sourced songs,
original songs, British background ballads - into one whole that is a
pleasure to listen to over and over again.
MAVERICK - The New Voice Of Country Music…
Smith and Jones were to these ears the day’s most outstanding
act
SING OUT!
The vocal and instrumental delicacy on this collection is haunting…very
appealing.
BLUEGRASS NOW…
Moving Lightly Through This World shows how a couple
of talented multi-instrumentalists can breath some new life into this
simple and quaint, yet powerful music. They have an authentic rural sound
that celebrates yesteryear, and their songs elicit nostalgic images or
give us inspirational messages that simply make us feel good.
