"Transcendent and blissful ... The two musicians seamlessly merge folk traditions from China and the US, on an album deserving mainstream recognition"

Songlines, 2020 June
"Top of the world" - "An excellent fusion of two seemingly different folk traditions: Empathetically produced by Béla Fleck, the duo's debut album introduces bluegrass to traditional Chinese folk song, 'from the hills of Appalachia to the prairies of Xinjian province' as the liner notes say. Across ten tracks Washburn's banjo and Fei's zither create plangent layers of interwoven stringed magic - one instrumental is even titled 'Weaving Medley'. Yet the keening congruence of their two voices is every bit as beguiling, heard at its most transcendent on 'Water is Wide/Wusuli Boat Song', on which a traditional Scottish tune flows seamlessly into a Manchurian folk song. 'Who Says Women Aren't as Good as Men' reinvents a number from a 1950s Chinese opera written in support of the troops in the Korean war. Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn is gorgeous music to get us through hard times"

"Wu Fei and Abigail Washburn is an album full of vitality and the sound of new musical groundbreaking. It's a perfect musical union - neither artist dominates, both support the other. If you like banjo, then it's more than worth a listen. And the same if you like guzheng"
