About:
HE GREW UP IN BLUEGRASS AND LATER EARNED ACCLAIM IN COUNTRY MUSIC, SO IT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE THAT THE LATEST RELEASE FROM MARTY RAYBON AND HIS BAND, FULL CIRCLE, BEARS THE MARK OF BOTH. INDEED, THIS THAT & THE OTHER IS NOT ONLY A SHOWCASE FOR A SINGER HAILED AS A GREAT BY FANS, CRITICS AND FELLOW ARTISTS ALIKE, BUT FOLLOWS IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF LEGENDARY ACTS LIKE THE OSBORNE BROTHERS AND JIM & JESSE BY OFFERING COMPELLING PERFORMANCES THAT MAKE DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN BLUEGRASS AND COUNTRY ALMOST MEANINGLESS. FROM THE HARD-DRIVING 'GRASS OF THE OPENING "LEAVIN' ON THE NEXT THING SMOKIN'" TO THE HEARTFELT PIANO BALLAD, "YOU GET ME," TO A PAIR OF GEORGE JONES COVERS TO THE INSPIRATIONAL A CAPELLA GOSPEL OF "DIDN'T IT RAIN RAIN CHILDREN," IT'S A VOCAL--AND INSTRUMENTAL--TOUR DE FORCE THAT COULD ONLY COME FROM MARTY RAYBON.
