"When was the last time you heard a note-for-note rendition of "Jerusalem Ridge" played on harmonica? Actually I didn't think it was possible (minor key scales, etc.). Yet, Bob Meehan, whom I've known as one of the Northeast's top harp players, finds and delivers all the notes to "Jerusalem Ridge" and fifteen other seemingly impossible tunes, with the authenticity to make you believe that Bill Monroe intended the harmonica as a bluegrass instrument.
Joining Bob is the multi-talented Fred Lantz, who plays the fire out of anything with strings. On this CD, Fred showcases his super fine guitar style which is distinctly unique to bluegrass music as is the harmonica itself.
This combination of two soulful musicians raises the "standards" to a new level, as well as highlights two of Fred's cleverly written instrumentals.
So, forget that you've heard a ot of these tunes before. you haven't heard 'em like this. And just when you thought you've heard it all on the guitar, I know you haven't heard it on the harmonica!"
