Details:
"John and Ben's first Growling Old Men project is one of my all-time favorite recordings. I've listened to it dozens of times over the years and it always gives me a good feeling because my favorite kind of music is made by old friends on the back porch. Listening to Ben and John pick and sing together captures that feeling better than any other recording I've ever experienced. I was very excited when I heard that they were recording another project and I'll have to say that when I heard it, it exceeded all of my high expectations. These masters of the guitar, mandolin, and harmony vocals have continued to hone their craft over the years that have passed since the first recording. Their vocals are tighter and they speak to each other through their instruments with a smoothness, fluidity, and familiarity that magically occurs when musicians come to know each other so well they can read each other's mind."
