"Revisiting the Roots":

When Darol Anger embarked on a solo career last spring after 11 years in the adventuresome Turtle Island String Quartet, he traded in the rewards and demands of democratic group decision-making for the freedom and challenges of independence. And on his first post-TISQ recording effort, "Heritage"(Six Degrees/Island), the violinist from northern California also exchanged the company of violin, viola, and cello for the chance to work with some of the most noted guitarists on the new acoustic, folk-rock, and bluegrass scenes.

.......

Conceiving and delivering "Heritage", Anger was able to play out his own desires. One was to arrange and perform traditional American folk tunes, such as "Shenandoah", "Pretty Polly", .... While "Heritage" has garnered attention for the eclectic contributions of singers Willie Nelson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mavis Staples, John Gorka, Dar Williams, Jane Siberry, and Tim O'Brien, Anger was just as impressed by the work of such guitarists as "the inimitable" Mike Marshall, Jerry Douglas, John Jennings, Russ Barenberg, David Grier, and David Lindley.

.......

"John Jennings was really the surprise for me", Anger continues, "because he was able to do so many things so well. He's such an under-appreciated guitar player. He brought this baritone guitar[built by David Berkowitz] that is *the* guitar from which all guitars emanate."....
