Crossing
Live From Silver Dollar City
BY KEVIN KERFOOT
Minnesota’s Monroe Crossing is Lisa Fuglie, vocals, fiddle
and guitar; Art Blackburn, vocals and guitar; Mark Anderson, bass and harmony
vocals; Matt Thompson, mandolin and harmony vocals; and banjo player Benji
Flaming. From Fox On The Run to the last notes of Sally Goodin/That’s
What I Like About The South this is one enjoyable all-request live
performance that shows MC’s great vocals and harmonies, thoughtful arrangements
and wonderful musicianship. The band is featured wonderfully in the lively
instrumental Nail That Catfish To A Tree. Lisa’ beautiful, strong voice
is prominently featured in most numbers including the bluesy At Last, the
traditional Wayfaring Stranger, and the MC original The Atlanta
Church. Other standout instrumentals include Bill Monroe’s Scotland
and Rocky Road Blues. This is great, live traditional bluegrass! BMP
