| “A low note rumbles out of nothing, a distant gathering laughs and slow, sad horns swell up. This is the drifting atmosphere set forth in the opening minute of Threshold, the latest from Roger Dean Young and the Tin Cup. Young's voice seems barely there as the band starts into the following track, "Keremeos," but it's not quiet; his voice is simply another instrument within the band. There's a wall of sound, but it's not without a chip here and there; an electric guitar that picks out a little melody only to finish with a strummed chord, or a ghostly voice that sweeps into and back out of the song; and these chips are the life of the music, keeping the heart beating by refusing to play with generic and stale country building blocks. It may be Young's name at the front, but the Tin Cup is no less a part of this album; the group is involved intimately with the music. It's difficult to say what each single musician brings to the proceeding, but not because their contributions are minor. Rather, if the trumpet solo disappeared from "Two-Step," or one of the twisting guitars was pulled from the title track, one would surely notice the hole left behind. The album is rife with instruments that each play a small part in a song, building upon one another to form the whole.” - EDEN MUNRO Vue Weekly ARTISTS ON THIS ALBUM RDY: music, lyrics, voice, guitar.
