"WOW"
is the reaction most folks give when hearing Vanessa's
"warm as wine" voice hit the first lyric in a song. This
'grassy gal has it going on vocally - and you will
discover a new voice to "sing you back home. Common
Strings has the sweetest new bluegrass project - this
side of the OHIO and I'm in Kentucky!"
"The
band's deep roots in the Appalachian storytelling
tradition, their joy and sincerity in performance, and
their simplicity of arrangement, let them shine like a
crystal clear point of light in the world of Folk Music.
With a voice like an Angel, lead singer Vanessa Nichols
has the uncanny ability to cut straight to the heart of
a song and send that message right to the hearts of her
audience. Common Strings are one of the fastest rising
stars in today's Music."
"A wonder collection of original songs in an acoustic
format. Darron and Vanessa have a magical blend vocally
and together they command a fabulous sound. Vanessa's
heartfelt vocals with Darron's tasteful mandolin playing
makes this CD a delight to listen to"

Simpkins, Grammy winner,

COMMON STRINGS/Rain
Came Down: When you're brother is Tony Rice, the apple
isn't going to fall far from the tree. If you've ever
dug Rice, this sounds like a younger, more contemporary
version which gives traditional bluegrass the proper
kick in the rear to keep it form being a museum piece.
Fun stuff that covers all the right terrain,
contemporary bluegrass fans have a hot one on their
hands here.

Spector, Editor and Publisher
"Wow that gal can sing! Good acoustic country sound that
is very playable."

come. All the best and thanks from the land Downunder
