Editorial review
New River Line kick off Chasing My Dreams with the rousing "Tell Me Something I Ain't Heard Before," a put-down song worthy of early Bob Dylan. The guys -- dobroist Jerry Chaney, bassist Mike Parker, guitarist Dave Carroll, banjoist Josh Hymer, and mandolinist Ronnie King -- perform traditional bluegrass with vim and vigor. Carroll handles most of the vocal leads and has enough country grit in his voice to deliver these down-home songs with conviction, while the group's harmony ups the emotional ante. While one would never mistake New River Line's version of tradition with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys', the band certainly clings to bluegrass' Southern roots. This shows up in songs like "My Brother Paul and Me," a melodrama of two brothers during the Civil War, one in blue, the other in gray. It's hard to imagine anyone born and raised in Oregon understanding a song set in a war that ended 140 years ago. For bluegrass bands in the South, however, Civil War songs show up with surprising frequency. Themes like this, falling in love with a married woman, salvation, and the family home place all fight for space on Chasing My Dreams, sketching a portrait of a world at odds with all things modern. Whether one shares this view of the world (or even believes it still exists), New River Line sell it with convincing vitality. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., All Music Guide
Bio / Background
More often than not, descriptive words such as "Fresh and Original" are very much over used when it comes to describing musical groups, especially relatively unknown ones. And with so many bands in the field of bluegrass music these days, it takes some pretty fancy footwork to live up to the billing. Things like writing 90% of the music that you perform, or a five piece bluegrass band with five different vocalists. What about writing nine out of the twelve songs on your first recording, then following that up by writing all of the songs for your second recording? Well if that sounds pretty "Fresh and Original" to you, you're not alone. Most anyone in this business would love to be able to boast these accomplishments in less than three years of existance. New River Line is just such a band. With a brand new recording on the door step, an all original recording as mentioned above, New River Line will be no secret for long.
