While bluegrass diehards will enjoy Cabinet’s third studio release Celebration, few tracks are conventional. Still, these progressive acoustic tunes radiate nostalgia. Celebration contains an honest, buoyant assortment of Americana that deems the listener an old, familiar friend. The sextet has strengthened its vocal prowess this time around, with delicate three- and four-part harmonies on tunes such as “Red River Valley” and “Tears Of Laughter.” The album’s title track is the centerpiece of their blues antithesis, containing lyrics such as, “You gotta know what love is if you’re gonna love someone.” Though no particular player acts definitively as soloist, stringslingers Pappy Biondo, J.P Biondo and Mickey Coviello weave blazing melodic textures throughout. The strongest tune of the bunch, lyrically, is “Pennsylvania,” which feels like losing yourself in a Norman Blake daydream. It’s Cabinet’s assured optimism that elevates Celebration to its whole, cohesive potential.
