The Blood and The River
"The group’s latest LP features some notable hired hands, among them, Dale Ann Bradley, Pat Flynn, Rob Ickes, Roland White, Steve Gulley, Ronnie McCoury, and Tim O’Brien, all of whom bring a rich, resonant approach to the proceedings while simultaneously offering homage to traditional trappings. Smith herself is a robust lead vocalist and a sturdy rhythm guitarist, and her soulful singing brings a bluesy flourish to several of the songs, the title track in particular. The material hews to a timeless template and a celebratory sound that allows faith and finesse equal standing."
