Bill Bachmann is a seasoned singer-songwriter with a country twang. Latest album Flight of the BumBillB is Bachmann’s first release in over a decade. “Size Don’t Matter on a Banjo” is clever, perhaps not as hilarious as Bachmann may think, but takes swings at harmonica players that will get big laughs when played live at the bluegrass festival. “Double Negative” is another farcical folk song, one deserving of a second listen to absorb all the wordplay. “You’re not unappealing” is a love line for the ages. Bachmann yodels “I’m a Real Man” on a bluesy jaunt, on which we hear some convincing lounge playing.
