Overall Comments

I'd seen some of Clifton Hicks's videos on YouTube, and could tell he was an accomplished old-time player. But the sound quality on those tiny videos doesn't do his playing justice - it's extremely good. He plays a few tunes on low-tuned fretless, and his voice has world-weary edge to it. A couple of the tracks have some background noise, but otherwise this is a truly fantastic album.
