Prescription Bluegrass CD Review by: Dan King It's been the same story in real estate since the dawn of time: Location, Location, Location. Drift into the world of recorded music and the prevailing mantra can become: Production, Production, Production. "Hey kid, how are you gonna package that shiny object?" Dale Ann Bradley is quite the shiny object. She possesses a wonderfully expressive voice that evokes echoes of some of the grand dames of bluegrass and country music...

Dale Ann Bradley is a defining bluegrass voice of our time. After reviewing Dale Ann Bradley's third solo album project "Catch Tomorrow" back in 2007, I felt she was perfectly poised to break through and win IBMA's Female Vocalist of the Year Award, an honor she'd been nominated for in 2006. Sure enough, Dale Ann subsequently won the award for three years running, in 2007, 2008 and 2009...

"Over My Head" and Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." Bradley's
originals are as strong as her choice of covers...

Dale Ann Bradley's first solo album East Kentucky Morning is a thoroughly winning affair. Splitting the album between original material and unexpected covers like U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," Bradley crafts a bluegrass album that is thoroughly modern without being progressive; it also resonates with heritage and tradition without being enslaved to it...

From the earliest days of bluegrass music, the style has been largely defined by the sound of the male voice -- the high, keening tenor of Bill Monroe, the rougher and richer sound of Ralph Stanley, the silky crooning of Lester Flatt. But women have also been involved since those days (remember that accordion player Monroe had in his band early on...

Dale Ann Bradley has the kind of pure, clear voice that tends to launch true country music fans into hyperbole. Or perhaps it's not hyperbole at all, because enough can't be said about the way this woman sings. Purists who see Bradley as a bluegrass singer might shy away from this one, especially with tracks like the drop-dead gorgeous opener: There's nothing high and lonesome about "Reason to Cry," it's simply a gorgeously melodic track that would sit well in the modern folk/country genre...
