Dream Scene
No one knew it at the time, but the sessions forDream Scenewere probably the last recording project of the Seldom Scene. The death of co-founder John Duffey has left the band's future in doubt, but this album serves as a fitting farewell gesture from one of the greatest acts in the history of bluegrass. The group's trademark virtues are all in evidence--the sparkling, unhurried picking, the gorgeous vocal harmonies and a mix of material that manages to bridge the oldest of rural traditions and the most accessible modern pop.--Geoffrey Himes
