Norman Blake and Peter Ostroushko
Meeting on Southern Soil

The pairing of these two stringmasters would seem predestined to produce excellent results and it does. The 16 cuts - half original and half traditional - explore the realm of American roots music. Norman Blake is one of the world's best flat pickers from the Doc Watson school of playing and Peter Ostroushko's virtuoso diversity on fiddle and mandolin has garnered wide admiration from folk, bluegrass and classical musicians alike. Breathtaking, technically brilliant music.
