    Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St is a timeless collection of American music that could only be created and delivered by the 81-year-old self-proclaimed “original D-O-double G”.

    Blackgrass shows he can make a memorable bluegrass album as easily as he can craft a potent soul groove. The surroundings are unexpected, the quality is not.

    This terrific project has its shining moments, with a few missteps along the way, yet it will likely go down as a winner. This aggregation of talent doesn’t come along often.

    This is Williams winningly flexing his more substantial songwriterly muscles. [Jul 2024, p.92]

    Swamp Dogg shows how music can speak truth to power on the ballad “Songs To Sing” and rousing “Rise Up”, which features that rarity in bluegrass: a face-melting electric guitar solo, courtesy of Vernon Reid. [Jun 2024, p.39]
