Customer Reviews

Beautiful Music
This CD features beautiful music that is relaxing and enjoyable listening. We particularly like the dulcimer.

Too orchestrated for me
I love hammered dulcimer -- Craig Duncan is an extremely talented musician -- I like the choice of pieces for this CD. However the orchestration of this CD -- the sweeping violins for instance -- is distracting to me and wasn't what I was looking for in what is classified as a folk CD. When next ordering a hammered dulcimer CD I'll make sure there are few other instruments.

Wonderfully relaxing
I love this CD! I find it to be very relaxing and inspirational, and the faster tunes always manage to lift my spirits and get my toes tapping. For anyone looking for a wonderful instrumental collection of old country tunes, this is it. The use of hammered dulcimer, mandolin, and violin takes me back to my childhood in the late '70's and early '80's when my uncle and cousins would play country, bluegrass, and gospel on Sunday mornings. I didn't appreciate the music then, but I certainly do now. I plan on purchasing other Craig Duncan music in the future, and you should definitely give him a try.
