"After a decade of shared gigs and five years of marriage, [Mr & Mrs Banjo] now deliver their first duo album, with foundations in ballads, gospel tunes, blues and other traditions from the American Bible Belt ... If [the] lack of instrumental diversity suggests a one-dimensional listening experience, think again. In Fleck and Washburn's hands, banjos riff like guitars on Railroad, ripple like pianos across Washburn's Ride To You, and ring like harps on a set of two short tunes by Fleck's namesake Béla Bartók. Washburn delivers the songs in the voice of an Appalachian angel. Her reading of Am I Born To Die (accompanied by a solitary banjo) is enough to make a stone-hearted atheist weep".
