Product Description
CD Description
Yo-Yo Ma once again embraces styles and traditions that go beyond classical music by bringing together four American string virtuosos and creating a new kind of chamber ensemble. Joining Yo-Yo Ma are bassist Edgar Meyer, mandolinist Chris Thile and fiddler Stuart Duncan. With strong bluegrass influences in evidence, The Goat Rodeo Sessions is a landmark album project by four of the greatest instrumentalists in music today. While each musician is a renowned superstar in his own sphere, they have come together now as a unified ensemble on a most remarkable and organic cross-genre project stemming from their friendship, and the title concept.

The last track is ended so abruptly that it leaves you with a deep feeling of "I want more!". This is not classical or blues or jazz or Irish/Scottish music per se but a mixture of all of them with a couple of tracks rounded with the angelic voice of Aoife O'Donovan.
These guys surely have had great fun making this album. It's noted they understand each other very well and each one should be very generous because being geniuses as they are playing their own instrument, the balance between them sounds perfect.
Highly recommendable!

Despite this being a fusion of the unlikeliest of styles, i.e. Scottish/Irish folk,bluegrass,jazz,classical, this is music making of a very high order, played with great feeling and virtuosity. There is a cohesion between the musicians that usually only comes after years of playing together. The "Average Customer Review" has been pulled out of shape by somebody elsewhere giving it one star because it didn't arrive wrapped in cellophane, so I feel compelled to accord it five to help redress the balance. Lots to enjoy here, cellophane or no..

Let's be fair, this is beautiful music, but it feels pretty po faced. I was expecting more irreverence and, simply, joy but was not forthcoming. I suspect this is a grower and have only had a few listens to far, but it was a slight disappointment.
