The Blue Velvets

Waiting For a Sign

(Enviken Records)



Assuring appeal for this sprightly performance is the imprint of easeful old-ways Country, the sort that once echoed everywhere regular folks drained fifths and danced jigs. Far from being a popular culture-relic, though, this disc jumps with animatedness. The combo to thank for all that merits salute, especially the guitarist; his nimble picking honors traditions while asserting vitality. 

Recommended: "Waiting For a Sign," "Ordinary Man," "Joe Jobs," "A Girl I Used To Know," "Amelia," "Little Jane May"
