What people are writing about BEML "This is a hugely exciting album! The singing's exquisite, the playing is completely masterly and tasteful (not a lick fiesta), the songwriting kills...intensely snazzy production, and it's fresh...really fresh. This music demands repeated listenings to catch all the nuances and to savor a brand new sound coming full-blown from two of today's most forward-thinking and accomplished acoustic musicians." —Tony Trischka, internationally acclaimed banjoist "The breadth and depth of the duets on let's do something... is jaw-dropping, but Bill and Megan are more than the sum of two virtuoso musicians. Together, they prove that the fiddle/banjo is made for any genre when it's done with imagination and passion." —Chris Stuart, IBMA Print Media Person of the Year "You've hit this one out of the park, across the river and into the next county! "Let's do something..." is one of the coolest, most imaginative and exciting projects ever. It's amazing the depths, different nuances and amazing subtleties that can spring forth when the bass, guitar and other instruments aren't masking what the fiddle and banjo are doing. Congratulations, you've explored some new ground and have laid down some truly powerful and exciting music in the process." —Dave Higgs, Nashville Public Radio's Bluegrass Breakdown |
