24^{TH. Lincoln Crockett} (and his guitarist Jim McKeon) Lincoln started his music career as the Mandolin player and Songwriter for Portland's progressive-bluegrass mainstay Cross-eyed Rosie. Lincoln's new solo album, "Angels & Devils Alike" is sparse and spare in its arrangements, allowing for his inspiring lyrics, delicate vocal harmonies and guitar/mandolin interplay to shine. The result is a seamless, fluid acoustic sound that grooves as it soothes, with a spiritual flavor specific to no genre.
