Same Old Place
Tuesday, 12 May 2009 13:00

"...NewFound Road is a revalation--an innovative template of how bluegrass can remain thrilling and relevant by fusing the best of the past to a clear vision of what is essential today."
Raleigh News & Observer

"The secret weapon of NewFound Road is Tim Shelton, who comes powerfully out of the gate on the bands fifth recording with his trademark rich, chesty baritone roar. There are alot of instrumentally virtuosic bands out there, alot of bands with fine singers,  but very few who combine technique with taste the way that NewFound Road does. Rick Anderson- All Music Guide

 

Same Old Place is New Found Road’s finest work to date.  This is a band that is at the top of its game and this CD truly highlights their wonderful harmonies, tough-edged pickin’ and killer song selection.  I’d put songs like “River of Pain,” “Try to Be,” “My Shoes Sure Know How to Get Around” and “Give Me Jesus” alongside anything that the genre has ever produced.  - David Higgs,  Nashville Public radio, Bluegrass Breakdown.  

" NewFound Road is the genuine article. If you like your bluegrass heartfelt and straight, grab Same Old Place." Vintage Guitar Magazine

"I think Tim Shelton and the rest of NewFound Road hit it out of the park this time around. You will not be disappointed with this one folks!"  The Bluegrass Mix

 


"This is, quite simply a warm and wonderful disc. Highly recommended!"
BlogCritics.org

 

"The title Song is "Same Old Place", but  Newfound Road's music transcends any old places and will bring you to a new listening place for bluegrass music.  Their music is as traditional as can be, but flavored in a brand new way.
Desert Bluegrass Association


“Same Old Place,” Newfound Road’s second secular album for Rounder, has it all — great vocals and great picking. In other words, it’s a very strong album.

"I had a great time watching you guys last night. Couldnt wipe the smile off my face!- Erica H.

"Great show last night! NFR ROCKS!!- Angie S.

"Completely blown away by your show!"- Kimberly T.

"You guys did awesome!"- Tiffany R.

 

YES!! NewFound Road was in top-notch form last night at the Murdock Schoolhouse in Orland. Their musicianship and showmanship is exciting; all the band members were "jiving" off each others music line and the air was "electric" with their creativeness!

Now, I wouldn't beat a dead horse--but this horse is alive and really kickin! Just saw New Found Road in Orland, and they simply blew the roof off the Murdock School House! Tim Shelton's vocals are outrageously good! Brothers Jamie and Joe Booher are great on mando and bass respectively. The surprise of the night was to see Josh Miller from Carrie Hassler's band on banjo--and what a monster he is!--AND Jimmie Van Cleve sitting in on fiddle. Wow!
Absolutely terrific show at the Black Oak last night. Catch this band in Sacto tomorrow night if you can.

--Robert K. Oermann

Somewhere Between
Thursday, 16 April 2009 21:32

"...Excellent..."
--Associated Press

"Led by the remarkable lead singing of Tim Shelton, this quartet shines with deep gospel roots and bluesy material, tight harmonies and a driving groove."
--CMT Magazine

"...they sure nuff' can sing.  This title tune's a gorgeous waltz that won my heart."
--Robert K. Oermann
Music Row Magazine

That’s How I Got to Memphis” becomes a lovely pop tune, and the quintet successfully explores country (“Lonesome Feelin”’) and Western swing (“Nothing Ever Turns Out Right”). Tight harmonies support Tim Shelton’s twangy lead vocals throughout, making “Somewhere Between” another gem in a banner year for bluegrass recordings.
--Steven Wine
MSNBC

"Somewhere Between has the variety, constency, and the heart needed to firmly establish the band as a topflight bluegrass act even as they stay true to their gospel roots....an exceptional release "
--Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine

"...what sets them several cuts about the run of hot acoustic pickers is the heart and soul which they imbue their playing and singing."
--FolkWax

"Each year one or two bands emerge on the scene with just the right combination of magic to make it happen in a big way.  If I had to pick one band, NewFound Road is it!"
--Terry Herd
Bluegrass Radio Network/ Sirius Satellite Radio

"This is crystalline bluegrass with a nice mix of originals and covers, secular and religious songs...NewFound Road does it really well, with love and superb chops.  I especially like Tom T. Hall's That's How I Got To Memphis and their sublime a cappella Rock of Ages."
--SingOut!

"...There is much to praise...Grade: A-"
--Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"...astringent vocal harmonies and hard charging instrumental muscle...quite a few undeniably powerful performances."
