Musical Reviews:
By Neal Walters

“Jeff Hames is seventeen, attends Madison Central High School in Madison, Mississippi, has a cherry 1968 Plymouth Road Runner and plays electric dulcimer in the marching band.”  It’s possible I could have thought of a better opening line than that, but I don’t think so.  I’m also sure that, by the time this review is published, you will know that Jeff finished “in the money” at Winfield in September, 2005 as well. This in no way is intended establish a limit on his talent.  Not only is Jeff a great young player but he appears to be a marketing genius as well.  By listing the names of all 220 members of the marching band in the liner notes, he’s probably assured himself of breaking even on the CD production costs as well.  “It’s Dulcimer Time is as good a debut album as you’re likely to hear.  It’s filled with hot licks and innovative arrangements; it covers the waterfront in terms of both traditional and contemporary material; and it should appeal to everyone who enjoys being amazed.  TJ Larkin engineered the recording ad provides some great support on bass, piano, mellotron, resophonic guitar, drums, guitar and sitar, while producer David Schnaufer, Lee Rowe and Sarah Elizabeth helped out as session musicians. The finale features the entire marching band and Jeff’s electric chromatic dulcimer.  Buy this CD; you’ll love it!  Titles include Rock Around the Clock, Deep Elm Blues, Westphalia Waltz, and Faded Love.
