Our Take

When it comes to bluegrass music, Ron Block is a name that instantly comes to mind. The Grammy-winning banjo player and guitarist has been a staple in the genre for decades, both as a solo artist and a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station. His latest album, "Walking Song," is a delightful blend of traditional bluegrass sounds with a modern twist.

From the opening track, "Footprints in the Snow," Block's mastery of the banjo is on full display. His fingers fly across the strings with precision and grace, creating a lively and infectious melody that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track, "Walking Song," is a heartfelt ballad that showcases Block's songwriting skills, with lyrics that are both introspective and relatable.

One of the highlights of the album is the instrumental track "Across the Sahara." Block's nimble fingers dance across the fretboard, creating a mesmerising tapestry of sound that transports the listener to a faraway desert landscape. The infectious energy of tracks like "Loose Change" and "Southern Flavor" will have you tapping your feet and clapping along.

Overall, "Walking Song" is a testament to Ron Block's talent and creativity. His love for bluegrass music shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of the genre. So, grab your banjo and take a stroll with Ron Block on his musical journey - you won't be disappointed.
