Fiddler/vocalist Emerald Rae takes her folk roots into fresh sounding regions, maxing out her axe’s potential in the service of her consistently compelling melodies.  A spell-caster of no small skill, Ms. Rae matches her bowing prowess with appealing use of her fiddle for strumming and plucking vocal punctuation.  Minimal production touches provide the ideal finish on one of the year’s more fetching releases.  Standouts include “Sadie Dear”, “When The Silvery Moon Comes Out To Play” and “Moving On”.
