Whereas the first volume of Christmas Grass was nearly entirely instrumental, Koch's second seasonal bluegrass collection kicks off with the rousing vocals of no less a star than Dolly Parton on "Christmas Time's a Comin'." The harmonies of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver are utterly pristine on "O Christmas Candle"; an instrumental version of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" features Dobro, mandolin, and fiddle solos; and Sonya Isaacs' "Mary, Did You Know?" is a tasteful blend of contemporary country vocals and bluegrass instrumentation. There's also a nice, nearly high lonesome version of "Silent Night." Christmas Grass, Vol. 2 is a solid set for any festive bluegrass fan. ~ Johnny Loftus

Dirty Linen (p.66) - "[With] a core band of fine pickers....If you want some bluegrass to listen to around the Christmas tree, it delivers the goods."
