The fourth installment in the I Heard It on NPR series, Down to the Roots focuses on bluegrass, gospel and country artists, and although the lineup is eclectic, the overall tone and feel of this compilation is amazingly consistent, with strong, emotional performances from everyone involved. The clear highlights are the first two tracks, Ollabelle's call-and-response gospel stomper, "Before This Time," followed by the equally as passionate (and every bit as upbeat) "It Just Suits Me," which pairs American treasures Hobart Smith and Bessie Jones. Another pairing here is even odder (but no less successful), with Norah Jones joining Dolly Parton on "Creepin' In," a wonderful bit of Appalachian pop full of mountain harmonies. Bright, hopeful and full of spirit, Down to the Roots makes a fine sampler of contemporary Americana. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
