Review by Lucas W. Boyken

Baptizing, the latest album from the bluegrass band Seldom Scene, is a masterful work that showcases the group's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. From the opening track, "Everybody's Talkin'," to the closing number, "Let Me Be Your Friend," the album is filled with catchy melodies, intricate harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Old Train," a classic bluegrass tune that Seldom Scene infuses with their own unique energy and style. The band's cover of the Bob Dylan song "Boots of Spanish Leather" is another highlight, with lead vocalist Dudley Connell delivering a powerful and emotional performance.

Throughout the album, the band demonstrates their ability to blend traditional bluegrass sounds with more contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both timeless and modern. The musicianship on display is exceptional, with each member of the band contributing their own unique talents to create a cohesive and dynamic sound.
