Doors and Windows reviewed in the Valley Advocate

May 14, 2009

 Hailing from Anchorage, Alaska, young bluegrass combo 

Bearfoot has just delivered its fourth album. Vintage Martin 

guitars, fiddles, bass, mandolin and minimal percussion fill 

out their rootsy yet decidedly modern sound. Smooth- 

voiced lead vocalist/fiddler Odessa Jorgensen leads the way, 

but all the members contribute vocally, weaving some 

strong harmonies. Their drastic reworking of the Beatles' 

"Don't Let Me Down" breathes a different kind of life into 

the tune. Confident and inspired, the group serves up a 

collaborative effort that should appeal to a broad range of people who like classic 

bluegrass that isn't afraid to tread on pop waters.  — Ryan Duffy
