Boone Creek's second album
One Way Track showcases the stunning instrumental skills of a young
Ricky Skaggs, as well as his compatriots
Jerry Douglas and
Terry Baucom. The three musicians blend on tight, thrilling harmonies, but where they really shine is on their rampaging instrumentals, where they demonstrate their virtuosity. The title track, a Skaggs original, sets the pace for the album: a warm but still disciplined collection showcasing not only the players' abilities, but also their passion for the traditional material they cover. The emphasis on playing makes
One Way Track a little uneven, yet when digested in small, individual bits, the album is quite enjoyable. ~ Thom Owens
