This well-selected set celebrates Blue Highway's 15th anniversary as a band with several key tracks drawn from the group's five-year association with Rounder Records, and amazingly, the original lineup (Tim Stafford, Wayne Taylor, Shawn Lane, Rob Ickes, and Jason Burleson) is still intact at the 15-year mark. The bluegrass quintet first hit the scene starting in 1994 with a trio of albums with Rebel Records before moving on to Rounder for 2001's Still Climbing Mountains, following it with the gospel-fueled Wondrous Love in 2003, Marbletown in 2005, and Through the Window of a Train in 2008, each of which is represented here. Two new cuts plus a re-recorded version of "Some Day" and a track from a Rob Ickes solo album are also included. ~ Steve Leggett
