Excellent!!
I can't take this out of the CD player. The melodies are memorable, the hooks abound, the musicianship is quality, and the lyrics are intelligent and capturing. Here's hoping for major airplay. AshBrooke Grace Music (Jim)
A New Blue
There’s a new band in town, and the town's not Nashville... it’s New York City. Singer/songwriter John thomas Oaks has come out with an incredible debut bluegrass album. I wasn’t sure what to expect when this was first recommended to me, but I can honestly say that it’s the best ‘newgrass’ release I’ve heard all year. These songs have been playing non-stop on my iPod for the last week, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Whether it’s the fire-friction banjo of “Goin’ Up to Harlem", the stirring nostalgia of “Blue” (which one can assume inspired the excellent cover art), the catchy tune and down-south vibe of “Roseangela”, or the edgy groove of “Liberation”, you can drop your iTunes needle anywhere on BLUE YORK and listen to a gem. This album gets an easy five stars, and watch out for John thomas Oaks... I’m willing to wager he has a bright shiny new career ahead of him.

Blue York is a great blend of bluegrass with a very hip twist. John Thomas Oaks is a master with words. You have to really pay attention because his style of writing is from a real thinkers point of view. Not just your ordinary bluegrass album !!
