The Infamous Stringdusters
Fork In The Road
Sugar Hill Records
BY JOE ROSS

The Infamous Stringdusters - Chris Eldridge, guitar; Chris Pandolfi, banjo; Andy Hall, Dobro; Jesse Cobb, mandolin; Jeremy Garrett, fiddle; and Travis Book, bass; - have found an ideal formula for balancing their youthful exuberance, melodic eloquence, and lyrical expression. Their arrangements are dynamic and give all a chance to shine. If you’re liberal, open-minded and tolerant of new directions in string music, then you’ll appreciate what these boys are doing with their vibrograss. Despite the message in the title cut, Fork in the Road indicates this band is decisive and incisive. They know which way they want to go to maximize their potential. The Infamous Stringdusters’ wires are very polished. BMP
