Uncontained

Description

Shrink-wrappedOn cuts like the workhorse Louise, Leadbetter's knack for phrasing never veers too far astray from the core melody, whereas he flashes his speedy fingers on the Flatt & Scruggs favorite Don't Let Your Deal Go Down. On cuts like Delbert McClinton's Victim of Life's Circumstances, Webb's mando playing is melodic, tasteful, and rhythmically solid when providing the required downbeat. Bluegrass conventions are pretty rigid to begin with, so it's difficult to expose a personality, but Robert Hale manages to squeeze some into his bluesy style. Like all his work, Vestal's parts throughout are idiosyncratic, both tonally and melodically. But the vocals, led by Hale and backed by Leadbetter and Webb, are equally as strong. Hale's vocals are strongest on the opening cut, Rough Edges, and he also manages to escape the shadow of George Jones on James Taylor's Bartender Blues, made famous by Jones. With only two original tunes, the only question surrounding this band is if they can write material as strong as they can play it.
