BLUEGRASS REVIEW by Sean McCormick Troubled Waters Half Mile Down The Road

This is the first release by Troubled Waters, a group from Indiana. Although new to Bluegrass as a band, each member has been involved in Bluegrass for many years. Dave Denman (, , lead and harmony vocals) is best known for his earlier work with Allison Krauss & Union Station in the mid 1980’s. Having a smooth vocal style and a polished lead guitar style, even referred to him as “Bluegrass’ best kept secret.” John Pennell (bass) is also a former member of Allison Krauss & Union Station. Kent Todd (fiddle, lead & harmony vocals) A talented fiddle player, he previously performed with Gary Brewer & The Kentucky Ramblers in the late 90’s. Bruce Booher (, lead and harmony vocals) A former member of the Texas band Borderline, along with other local bands. Klint Brown (banjo, dobro, lead and harmony vocals) He has been playing banjo since the age of 13, and is also a member of New Harmony, winners of the Bean Blossom Band Contest in 2001.

‘Half Mile Down The Road’ features a nice mixture of contemporary and material. Some of my favorites from this recording are “Pig In A Pen” (arranged here in a slower, almost bluesy tempo), “Poor Ellen Smith”; the John Pennell original “Half Mile Down The Road”, David Denman’s original instrumental “Fourth Fret Logic,, and the Don Williams classic “Till The Rivers All Run Dry. This CD would be a welcome addition to any Bluegrass collection. http://www.troubledwatersband.com/ © 2004 Daddy’s Dream Music CTBA Promotes Bluegrass at Laurel Mountain Elementary A First-Hand Report by Steve Davidson and Marty Hurt

They all play Deering six string !! Whether it is the incredible brightness of the 3/16” steel rim in our mahogany Boston 6-string, the sparkling tone of the mahogany Deluxe model’s bell bronze tonering, or the incomparable sweetness and added power from the rock maple neck and resonator and bell bronze tonering in our Maple Blos- som 6-string, professionals have helped make the Deering 6-string models an ever popular favorite among guitar players and banjo players alike! Ranging in price from $1719 through $4350, the music on Deering’s six string banjos has no bounds. Deering’s 6-string banjos are noted for their slender, low profile neck that is shaped for fast, accurate fingering. The 1 ¾” neck widths at the nut on our 6-string models makes it suitable for all styles of guitar techniques. The ebony fingerboard is polished to a fast, smooth surface. By guitar standards, the neck is very comfortable and natural feelings. The Deering compensated maple and ebony bridge further ensures precise intonation over the entire range of notes. The sealed guitar tuners are smooth, positive, and accurate in operation. The two-way adjustable truss rod is precise and easy to use and en- sure superb playability without buzzing. Visit the Deering’s NAMM exhibit #2428 and see and play the Deering 6-string banjo along with the other Deering models on display.
