Review of “Live From the Freight & Salvage” from California Bluegrass Association’s “Breakdown”

 “With her band the Hilonesome, her strong heartfelt voice makes each song an engaging story worthy of listening and savoring.  This concert recording captures the intimacy and powerful connections that can be made when an audience is in synch with the artist .. The band weaves an intricate web around Susie’s vocals and the powerful stories are matched with Rob’s dobro and Mark’s fiddle.  Rob Carlson’s instrumental skills on guitar and dobro are powerful propellants in the band’s sound but he is also a talented songwriter with an ability to capture vignettes of time and place.  Susie Glaze and HiLonesome may be based in California, but this album shows they’re ready to take over the country!”
