Review

On their third album, the Bluegrass Album Band adds some more country-rock to the mix, in the form of the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Devil in Disguise," but they largely stick to bluegrass classics from the likes of Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs. Like the group's two previous albums, Bluegrass Album, Vol. 3: California Connection is filled with graceful, stunning musicianship that continues to astonish after several listens. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
