| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Relying on the same personnel as on their 2002 selftitled release, John Reischman and the Jaybirds' return with another strong effort. A newcomer to the Jaybirds could easily listen to the lead track, a harddriving take on Lonesome Dove," and imagine that more bluegrass versions of traditional songs will follow. The second cut, however, borrows a more contemporary piece from Carol Elizabeth Jones, She Could Have Loved Him." Bassist Trisha Gagnon's vocal has a full resonance that brings an emotional depth to this sad story of love gone wrong. By the third track, an instrumental written by Reischman, it becomes apparent just how stylistically varied the band is. Both Reischman, Gagnon, and guitarist Jim Nunally handle most of the vocals, providing endless variety, and banjoist Nick Hornbuckle and fiddler Greg Spatz add instrumental muscle. Despite this variety, Field Guide never seems scattershot. Instead, the acoustic arrangements, lovely harmony, and the band's overall approach to the material give the album unity. What's so curious and satisfying about the band's eclecticism is its ability to combine of bluegrass, oldtime, and neofolk to create a hybrid all its own. Fans of the previous album will want a copy of Field Guide, but so will anyone else who enjoys a fresh, respectful take on roots music. - Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., All Music Guide |

Pros: Good variety, clean picking and superior arranging
Cons: Not a high lonesome bluerass sound but more a folksy flair
Duets, trios and feisty instrumentals abound on the Jaybirds
