Aaron Hurwitz (aka Professor Louie) was a session musician on three records recorded by the Band in the mid-'90s, and it shows throughout Flyin' High. The 11 songs on Flyin' High are, like the Band, a deft mix of Americana genres, including bluegrass, zydeco, folk, rockabilly, and others. There are some notable guest appearances and collaborations throughout, including several appearances by the Band's Garth Hudson (whose own The Sea to the North is one of the finer Band-related projects), Hot Tuna's Michael Falzarano, and others. The Crowmatix also turn in covers of tunes by New Riders of the Purple Sage's David Nelson and the late Rick Danko. The music is pleasant, if not entirely striking. The band's vocal mix is warm, though not exceptionally smooth, and their arrangements are comfortable without being loose. ~ Jesse Jarnow
