On Take a Step Over, Dan Crary once again demonstrates that he is one of the most talented bluegrass acoustic guitarists of his generation. Crary has a knack for interpreting fiddle tunes for the guitar, playing them with a nimble grace and effortless musicality. As long as he sticks to instrumentals, Crary is fine -- after all he, has some great duels with Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, John Hickman and Byron Berline -- but when he sings, the album becomes a little tedious; he simply doesn't have the vocal skills to match his instrumental acumen. However, the guitar showcass are strong enough to make the album worthwhile for any fans of bluegrass guitar.
