“Mike Compton and Joe Newberry mine one of the more neglected segments of music history, that period during the 1930s and 1940s when brother duet music was transforming into bluegrass. Few are better equipped for the task. Add Joe’s exquisite open back banjo playing and their simpatico duet singing and you have a two person string band that can move effortlessly from Carter Family songs to “evil harmony laughing” to bluegrass and old-time music, and Mike’s original tunes and Joe’s songs. Compton and Newberry have found a partner in each other whose music comes from the same place. Just as if on a back porch, they play to and for each other. The audience gets to share the joy the pair finds in doing it.” -Art Menius
