At Home and On the Range: The Duo Live Artist: Mike Marshall and Darol Anger Label: Compass Records Length: 12/63:07 Mike Marshall and Darol Anger
have been playing together since 1978, as members of The David Grisman
Quintet, the Montreaux Band, Psychograss, NewGrange, and the Anger/Marshall
Band. Marshall is an accomplished guitarist, mandolin player,
At Home and On the Range shows the two artists exploring a variety of styles, combining their talents for a live concert album. There is some jazz (“Big Man from Syracuse”), some Bill Monroe (“Old Dangerfield,” “Big Man,” and “Jerusalem Ridge”), and a lot of Irish/British string music. “Gator Strut,” a Marshall original, stands out, if only because it sounds like nothing else on the album. Wandering from bluegrass, veering into jazz, and careening headlong into the edges of rock and world music, At Home and On the Range shows that Marshall and Anger know each other’s strengths, and bring the best out in each other, trading solos and harmonizing with each other, to create a unique evening that is captured here on this CD.
