Latest Detour

Detour’s 2nd CD is well underway. We’re in the studio again this month to cut more material and do some production work on songs we’ve already laid down.  Stay tuned…

Meanwhile, the reviews of our current CD keep coming in:

• Check out the latest review of our Radio Hill CD by Bluegrass Unlimited. Click here to read the review.
• Read BluegrassJournal.com’s review of Detour’s “Radio Hill” CD: “Scott Zylstra’s guitar work, which at times is about as off-the-wall and on-target as it comes. There isn’t a guitar break on the CD that didn’t make me take note. No, it’s not Doc Watson, Tony Rice or Kenny Smith, it’s more left of center than any of that. And, oh so tasteful.” Click here to read the article.
• Chris Rietz of the Lansing State Journal: “It’s not 1938, and they’re not a pop-bluegrass hybrid like Newgrass Revival or Seldom Scene, nor are they neo-traditionalists like Blue Highway. Detour, Michigan’s newest, brightest bluegrass band, is a glimpse of the music’s fourth wave.  It’s a debut album that sparkles, not least because it lacks any of the breathless, we’ve-got-something-to-prove desperation the genre invites. While Detour can crank up the tempo – that version of “John Hardy” is there just to show they can blow the doors off when they want to -much of Radio Hill packs real, old-fashioned bluegrass energy into a more lyrical groove.”

And there’s more to come!
