This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
STYLE: The old CBGB blueprint — country, bluegrass and blues — along with a couple of other C’s — Celtic and Cajun — for good measure.
SOUNDS LIKE: Birds of a feather spreading their wings.
POINTED COMMENTS: For their sophomore CD, the long-serving Duhks have a new home at respected American roots label Sugar Hill and a new producer in progressive bluegrass banjo king Bela Fleck. And with this self-titled album, they’ve got a disc that simultaneously showcases their stylistic diversity, technical prowess and easygoing charm. To his credit, Fleck keeps a low profile here, allowing the co-ed quintet to do their own delicately graceful thing on a 14-song set that ranges from traditional Americana (Death Came A Knockin’) to rootsy revamps of Leonard Cohen (Everybody Knows) and Sting (Love Is The Seventh Wave).
STANDOUTS: Appalachian haunters like True Romance will shiver your timbers, but don’t skip gorgeous country gems like Dance Hall Girls and Four Blue Walls.
