Out of the Blue is noted for their contemporary approach to bluegrass, yet their love of traditional aspects of the music is apparent throughout Granddaddy's Cabin. The recording highlights the band's creative arrangements, straight-on instrumental solos, and tight vocal harmonies. Featured are an inspired, souped-up romp on the soul classic "It's All Over Now" and an explosive version of "Flying South." The eight originals highlight a variety of themes, from the fond homage of the title track to the spry "Finally Goin' Home," an existentialist rumination on death.
