Product Description
Amazon.com
Scenechronized is the first new album since 2000 from these aptly named progressive bluegrass pioneers, and just the second since founding member and group leader John Duffey died of a heart attack in 1996. "America's Award-winning Bluegrass Band" (as they refer to themselves on their own website) will likely never regain the musical heights of their early 1970s line-up, but there is much to enjoy here, in this newer and younger incarnation (led by original banjoist Ben Eldridge). The traditional numbers are given a grittier bite throughout. A few of the numbers are direct tributes to Duffey, in the form of reworked versions of songs he performed with the Scene and with his first group, the Country Gentlemen. Cover versions have always been the band's highlights, however, and this record's no exception. The songs by John Fogerty, Merle Haggard, Steve Earle, and Bob Dylan resonate with both high lonesome energy and a melodious melancholy. Here's to hoping it's not seven years until they release another new album. --Mike McGonigal
Scenechronized has been Nominated for the 2008 Grammy Awards in the Best Bluegrass Album category.

Better than bluegrass, 19 Aug 2007
By Brett Cosor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scenechronized (Audio CD)
The boys have outdone themselves. The album is a nice mix of covers done to perfection and original songs that embody the grace and elegance that has become the hallmark of the "Scene". I wondered when they would have a new album and this is it. Well worth the wait.

It's the Seldom Scene!, 16 Aug 2009
By Bluegrass Lover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scenechronized (Audio CD)
I've been to see them 3 times this summer & plan @ least one more bluegrass fest where they are scheduled to appear, so you might say I'm an avid fan. Over the last several months they've polished up their act to a great degree...their harmonizing takes my breath away...& I'm looking so forward to their next CD. Meanwhile, I had to have this one & it does not disappoint.

Fantastic, 13 Aug 2009
By J. J. Meadows "Library Lady JJM" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scenechronized (Audio CD)
My first exposure to this group was about 25 years ago in a small bar in the Washington D.C. area. I have been a fan ever since.
This CD does not disappoint! The instrumentals are still top shelf, the harmony and vocals are absorbing. For the blue grass / country fan, you have to add this group and this CD to your collection. Play it often and play it well! I crank mine up when ever I am working in the yard or driving in my car. Love it!!!!!
