Negative Positive
Title: Slick, over-produced bluegrass
Review: I hate to disagree with so many people who love this CD, but I find very little to like about it. I found the ballads weepy, the upbeat songs cliched, and the singing/musicianship professional but uninspiring. To give you an idea of my tastes, my favorites are Nashville Bluegrass Band "American Beauty", Steve Earl/Del McCrory Band "The Mountain", Ricky Skaggs/Kentucky Thunder "Bluegrass Rules". In my opinion, "The Grass is Blue" does not approach the artistic standards of these and many other current CD's. Once again, no offense is intended to the many people who are so fond of this CD. The bottom line: I plan on making the day of somebody who wants to own this CD by selling my copy to a used CD store.
Is the review positive or negative?
