Rooted in bluegrass, “Rambling Boy” is an all-star revue reminiscent of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” a generation ago, with an impressive parade of talent, a joyful jam-session ambiance and the 81-year-old Haden as bandleader. Among those taking turns on lead vocals are Vince Gill, Bruce Hornsby, Rosanne Cash, Elvis Costello and Ricky Skaggs. Haden's daughters – Petra, Tanya and Rachel – sound angelic singing together, and the backing band, which includes Jerry Douglas and Stuart Duncan, serves up plenty of hot licks.
