Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Try the Duhk
I stumbled across "Mighty Storm" while driving home from work, and was enticed enough by it's blues soaked power that I picked up the album. I was expecting more of the same, but what I found was something far more rich and intrigueing. The Duhks bring together a lush blend of folk, blues, bluegrass and world music that keeps you both guessing and fully absorbed.
Singer Sarah Dugas is magnificent. Her soulfull, rich and exotic voice is perfect for guiding the solid and talented band in ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Duhks are evolving
I've enjoyed The Duhks' other albums so I was excited to hear they had a new one out and curious to find out what their new members have to contribute. I like this album a lot but for very different reasons than I like their other work. On previous albums, instrumentals were a highlight but I was underwhelmed by them this time around ("Adam's 3-Step," "Ship High in Transit," "New Rigged Ship"). Also, while Leonard Polodak's vocals were some of my favorites before, I skip his "95 South" on this ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Album!
I have been listening to The Duhks for a long time, and I really enjoy their music. This album exceeded my expectations...I bought it without even previewing the songs...and that is justifiable because it is just simply amazing!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Duhks - Fast Paced World
Fast Paced World (2008, Wel) The Duhks' fourth studio album. ***

I'm not sure how the Duhks attained the label of "progressive bluegrass," but I think that is hardly what I would call it. In fact, to even attempt to define their genre is difficult, and in their case it's not necessarily a compliment. Fast Paced World often finds the band trying to do too much, ranging from their original bluegrass roots to world, blues, and straightforward jam. To add on top of that, lead singer Sarah ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ODD DUHK - GOOD DUHK!!
I feel inadequate to review this album - I have a hearing loss which prevents me from noticing nuance, but the music is so exceptional I can hear between the lines. The Duhks are an eclectic mix of traditional and modern styles. "Mighty Storm" a traditional song is infused with modern instruments and yet maintains an old time sensibility. It is iconic of the band leading you into an old folk song in ways you have not considered.

Sarah Dugas, the lead singer, ably replaces Jessee Havey ... Read More
