Ramblin' On My Mind , the
1997 release from Front Range, packs power, depth and emotion. The album
spent several weeks in the Top Ten of the Gavin Americana Chart,
and
held at #3 on the National Bluegrass Survey Album Chart (as
reported by Bluegrass Unlimited magazine) for several months.
With an arsenal of original material and unique traditional pieces, Ramblin' On My Mind combines innovative arrangements with potent vocals, capturing the soulfulness and power of traditional bluegrass while subtly stretching the boundaries into the realms of folk, swing, country, gospel, celtic and the blues. The result is a fresh, well-honed contemporary sound with varying textures and moods, but always alive with passion and conviction. |
| Front Range's strong suit was its vocal power (featuring Bob Amos' soulful lead singing and the band's stellar harmonies) and its exceptional songwriting. Amos wrote a large portion of the band's material, and his songs have been covered by other artists, including Where The Wild River Rolls, recorded by Hot Rize. The band's highly selective use of cover material was another testament to its growth. Their rendition of blues legend Robert Johnson's Ramblin' On My Mind gave this classic a hardcore bluegrass arrangement - the result was pure acoustic roots power. | |
| Front Range established a reputation as a terrific performance band. Their refreshing eclectic blend of material, combined with their easy going humorous interactions with each other and the audience made for a great show. |
|
Front Range was simply one of the most entertaining and dynamic bands on the bluegrass music scene, and they won the hearts of audiences from all across the acoustic music spectrum with exceptional original material, stellar vocal work, innovative arrangements and an engaging stage show. |
