Paul & Win Grace Love’s Lasting Light
Wellspring CD4906
When Missouri's Paul and Win Grace began
playing music 28 years ago, they never dreamed they'd ever be
performing publicly. Six albums
later, the couple is a testament to how music, like love, can
blossom into a lasting thing. Paul plays
fiddle, mandolin, harmonica, and guitar; Grace graces
accordion and piano, while both sing and harmonize together. Considerable
ground is covered here as the couple applies their intimate
magic on selections from Stephen Foster, Bill
Staines, Steve Gillette, Patsy Montana, and Carson Robison.
There are a number of traditionals, like "Shady
Grove," the fiddle-driven, piano-outlined "Durang's
Hornpipe," and the Tin Pan Alley number, "My Name is
Morgan But It Ain't J.P." Regardless
of the tune's source, all boast diverse, tire-less
arrangements. Daughters Leela and Ellie, who
are heard here on banjo and mandolin, assist on the resounding
chorus of "Farewell My Friends." A
charming set of
tracks.
