CD ". . . Bill had come up with an entirely new way to play the banjo - one that totally defied the laws of Scruggs style. Instead of building the break on various juxtapositions of traditional Scruggs licks, he was playing long, flowing melodic lines based on scales rather than chords. . . . His playing has developed into a warm, mature, fully realized style, deeply rooted in the Scruggs tradition -- solid timing in the right hand combined with an impeccable sense of taste." --Tony Trischka (1976) "The diverse collection of tunes amply documents the many facets of Bill's musical persona -- cowboy-hatted bluegrasser (`Pain in My Heart'), chilled hipster (`Caravan'), top-tensioned Keith Richards (`No Expectations'). Though ranging far and wide, the material is held together by a virtuosic cohesiveness that invites repeated listenings. Dip deep of these sounds and savor banjo music of the highest order." --Tony Trischka (1997)
