Roses
Mountain Fever MFR230310
From Vancouver, British Columbia comes this award-winning new group which consists of Tianna Lefebvre (lead vocals), Mike Sanyshyn (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Charlie Frie (bass, vocals), and Eric Reed (guitar, banjo). Guests include John Reischman (mandolin), Jeff Scroggins (banjo), and Michael Kilby (resonator guitar).
Only together for a short time, the band has garnered a number of awards and nominations from both the BC Country Music Association and Canadian Country Music Association and their songs have appeared on Bluegrass Today’s monthly and weekly charts. Songs from bluegrass, acoustic country, folk, and roots music are represented here and include “Shallow Rivers,” the title cut “Roses,” “I’m All The Way Gone,” “Travelin Heart,” “For The Life Of Me,” “Put Yourself In My Place,” “Pour It To Me Straight,” and nice cover of New Grass Revival’s “Can’t Stop Now.”
The lead vocals of Tianna Lefebvre are the standout on the project as her clear performances are enhanced by the other group’s backing vocals. Instrumentally all the players are accomplished as shown in each of the arrangements. This is a rally nice debut for this Canadian group.
