” …. You could hardly be closer to the source than Ian Melrose, whose musical life began with his father’s fiddle tunes – and the interplay of familial closeness and stylistic distance has resulted in completely original music. On the one hand, there are enchantingly delicate solo arrangements, ……. There are approaches with a touch of Latin rhythm, a Skinner piece with chromatic melodic elements as subtle ragtime – and above all some pieces that are almost stripped bare until only the barest skeleton of a piece of music remains. And this is then intoned so authentically on a slide dobro with an earthy sound that you feel as if a wisp of mist is wafting over a bare mountain ridge with every note. Impressive.”
