The Orchard Sessions is a little-known CD that has become almost a cult classic among bluegrass fans. A thoroughly excellent compilation of contemporary Canadian bluegrass bands, it was released as a sampler and hasn't had widespread distribution outside bluegrass circles. For anyone who loves bluegrass, or would like an intro CD, this one is a delight. Recommended.
