"If
The Duhks are modern bluegrass tastemakers and D. Rangers are mutant
bluegrass rockers, then The Doug and Jess band are Winnipeg’s
old-time bluegrass purists — and thank goodness for that. With
a sound and style steeped in the Appalachian music Doug Reimer listened
to while growing up, this father-daughter team (he plays guitar and
his voice is high and lifeworn, while she handles a double bass and
offers up a clear, bright alto) has developed a one-two punch that
touches on all aspects of bluegrass tradition. You’ll find lovelorn
laments, richly textured life tales, heartfelt spiritual testifying
and even a traditional blues sashay on this collection, which is split
between songs penned by both of the group’s mainstays. While
the Reimers provide the tunes, banjo player Tim Osmond and multi-instrumentalist
Jeremy Hamm give them their colour, bringing wailing, piercing tones
that make the songs seem to drip with bluegrass authenticity.
Congratulations also go out to local producer Norm Dugas (Alana Levandoski,
The Duhks), whose deft touch with acoustic instruments is tremendous"
