Our Take

Peter Rowan's latest album, "Carter Stanley's Eyes," is a whimsical journey through bluegrass nostalgia that hits all the right notes. Rowan, a seasoned veteran of the genre, pays homage to the legendary Carter Stanley with a collection of songs that showcase his love and admiration for the music that has shaped his career.

From the foot-stomping opener "Drumbeats on the Watchtower" to the tender ballad "The Light in Carter Stanley's Eyes," Rowan's storytelling prowess shines through on every track. His signature vocals are as smooth as a finely aged bourbon, effortlessly gliding over intricate banjo and fiddle arrangements.

The album's production, helmed by Grammy-winning producer Alison Brown, is crisp and polished, allowing each instrument to sparkle like a diamond in the rough. The musicianship on display here is nothing short of exceptional, with standout performances from bluegrass luminaries like Jerry Douglas and Bryan Sutton.

While some may argue that Rowan's traditional approach to bluegrass is old-fashioned, there's no denying the raw authenticity and heart that shines through in every note. "Carter Stanley's Eyes" is a love letter to the genre that will appeal to both purists and casual listeners alike. So grab a pint, kick off your boots, and let Peter Rowan serenade you with the timeless sounds of bluegrass bliss. A true masterpiece from a master of the craft.
