Our Take

Review:
Special Consensus' "Great Blue North" is a delightful fusion of bluegrass and modern folk that showcases the band's unparalleled musicianship and infectious energy. From the first twang of the banjo to the last melancholy note of the fiddle, this album will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time.

With a tracklist that includes standout songs like "Roll On Blues" and "Rivers of Babylon," Special Consensus proves that they are true masters of their craft. The shimmering harmonies and tight instrumentals are a testament to their years of dedication and passion for the music.

One of the standout tracks, "Train 45," is a rollicking journey through the backwoods of bluegrass, with lightning-fast banjo picking and soaring vocal harmonies that will leave you breathless. It's a perfect example of the band's ability to blend traditional bluegrass with a modern twist, creating a sound that is truly unique and exciting.

Overall, "Great Blue North" is a triumph for Special Consensus, showcasing their exceptional talent and deep love for the music. Whether you're a die-hard bluegrass fan or just looking for something new and exciting to listen to, this album is sure to please. So grab your banjo, kick back, and let Special Consensus take you on a wild ride through the Great Blue North. You won't be disappointed.
