The Highland Travelers Review

The Highland Travelers have released their first full length CD on Mountain Fever Records, The Highland Travelers. At the helm is Adam Steffey (mandolin and vocals) and if you follow bluegrass, you know that last year we had more than a couple bands either stop touring or dissolve. The Highland Travelers are the best of some of those displaced musicians, and they are:  Keith Garrett (vocals and guitar), fellow former Boxcars bandmember Gary Hultman (vocals and dobro), and Jason Davis (banjo) and Kameron Keller (vocals and bass) from Ramblers Choice. With talent like the aforementioned players, you know you’re in for a treat of inordinate playing, singing and songwriting, and that is exactly what The Highland Travelers deliver across the eleven-song album. Outstanding musicians and excellent songs that have a nice variety of keys, feels and illuminating lead vocals.  This is clearly evident on tunes like “World So Full of Love” and the closing instrumental, “Poplar Knob” highlighting a enjoyable collection of tunes and that’s the short of it!
