PRAISE FOR MILAGROS

"Milagros is a wonderful, fascinating CD. We love it!"
- Bob Boilen, National Public Radio

"When listening to music, I always have a parallel conversation going in my head as I'm figuring out the harmony and structure; but with Tim Weed's music, I quickly determine that it's beyond my ability to do so and I find myself completely lost in the sound, beauty, complexity - and technical mastery - I just enjoy the listening experience. Milagros is great. It's spent A LOT of time in my player. I especially like Granada Vox."
- Bill Keith, Banjo Pioneer

"Although I don't normally publicize CD's, I'm going to make an exception in this case. I was just sent a copy of a CD of Tim Weed... it's all original tunes, a great CD. He takes the banjo further than most. I recommend this CD highly. He plays chromatic banjo extraordinarily well... I loooove his banjo playing!
- Bobby Thompson, 5-String Banjo Innovator

"There's a group of musicians who have redefined the banjo. People like Bela Fleck, Tony Trischka, and Bill Keith . . .Tim Weed is one of those musicians."
- Duane Inglish, Live Oak Music Festival

"I am amazed when a banjoist can approach a classical piece. I truly enjoy Bela Fleck's classical explorations or those by John McEuen. But this is different. This is entirely original music that is both contemporary and classic. Milagros is vital new music conceived and performed to exploit the unique capabilities of this instrument... Tim's technique is magnificent... His playing is masterful and his sound is simply spectacular."
- John Balch, Chairman of Judging of the National Banjo Championships
