Veterans of Dry Branch Fire Squad, High Country, and the California Cajun
Orchestra, the Bluegrass Intentions combine impeccable musicianship with
a superb command of harmony to create roots-based bluegrass music
that brims with ebullience and sparkles with creativity. Whether re-
working material from a Library of Congress field recording, adapting a
Cajun two-step, or reinventing a Flatt & Scruggs or Jimmy Martin classic,
these genre-bending traditionalists love making music together, and it
shows!
Bill Evans' hard-driving banjo, Suzy Thompson's toe-
tapping fiddling and Eric Thompson's emotive mandolin and guitar picking
are superbly framed by guitarist Alan Senauke's rhythmic intensity, and
Larry Cohea's pulse-steady doghouse bass. Add Suzy, Alan, and Bill's
powerful vocals, and you've got a recipe for a truly unstoppable old-time
groove, whether on stage or on their album, Older Than Dirt.
