No one knew it at the time, but the sessions for Dream Scene were probably the last recording project of the Seldom Scene. The death of co-founder John Duffey has left the band"s future in doubt, but this album serves as a fitting farewell gesture from one of the greatest acts in the history of bluegrass. The group"s trademark virtues are all in evidence--the sparkling, unhurried picking, the gorgeous vocal harmonies and a mix of material that manages to bridge the oldest of rural traditions and the most accessible modern pop. --Geoffrey Himes
