The live recordings on this album were made my Belgian National radio in 1973 and 1980 and were never released before. »Banjo Troubadour« shows Derroll Adams at his best: emotional songs, deeply rooted in the folk and country and a warm and deep voice telling stories and taking the listener on a unique and intimate trip.

2017 - Injecting folk and bluegrass sounds with a punk rock ethos (not to mention a banjo player who's a self-proclaimed metalhead), the band bring a fresh perspective to classic genres. Their new album was made with producer, engineer and mixer Jason Plumb at Studio One Recordings in their Saskatchewan hometown, and it aims to capture the group's raucous energy in recorded form. 12 Songs, darunter DEAD MAN'S ISLE - TIME FOR CRAWLIN' und GUNSLINGER'S GLORY...hier als Set mit LP+CD lieferbar !!!

2018 – (on vinyl) - 23 Song Set feat. 14 brand new recordings + 2 spacial bonus tracks - Earls of Leicester Live also serves up several tracks integral to Flatt and Scruggs’ legend-including “I’m Gonna Sleep with One Eye Open,” a song famously banned from the Grand Ole Opry-along with more oddball offerings like the gracefully sprawling two-part instrumental “Steel Guitar Blues/Spanish Two Step.”  Throughout Earls of Leicester Live, the band wholeheartedly channels the spirit of Flatt and Scruggs while allowing each member’s distinct charm and singular musicality to shine through. The Earls of Leicester are Barry Bales, Shawn Camp, Charlie Cushman, Jerry Douglas, Johnny Warren, and Jeff White. 

(on vinyl) - their second album, 2016's Rattle & Roar, but they have managed to use some subtle studio technique to give this session a more distinct personality than was displayed on the debut. As anyone would expect, the performances on Rattle & Roar are splendid, and the musicians -- Douglas, Johnny Warren on fiddle, Charlie Cushman on banjo, Shawn Camp on guitar and lead vocals, Jeff White on mandolin (replacing Tim O'Brien from the first album), and Barry Bales on upright bass -- sound even tighter and more joyously emphatic than they did before. (The harmonies are every bit as good, too.) 17 Songs wie STEEL GUITAR BLUES oder FLINT HILL SPECIAL

2014 - (on vinyl)  The new group is the product of Douglas's lifelong passion for the music of bluegrass pioneers Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and their band the Foggy Mountain Boys, whose seminal work in the '50s and '60s created the template for what we know as contemporary bluegrass, and transcended traditional genre barriers to popularize the music with an unprecedented mass audience.
"This record is something I've been waiting my whole life to do," veteran Dobro master Jerry Douglas says of the self-titled debut by the new all-star dream team combo that he has assembled, organized and produced.... Jerry Douglas (dobro & vocals), Tim O'Brien (vocals & mandolin), Shawn Camp (lead vocals & guitar), Charlie Cushman (banjo, rhythm & lead guitar), Johnny Warren (fiddle & bass vocals) & Barry Bales (bass & vocals)

2012 - das Original Album aus dem Jahr 1957 hier auf HQ-180gr. Vinyl veröffentlicht (Klappcover) !!!! 12 Titel wie FLINT HILL SPECIAL - EARL'S BREAKDOWN - SHUCKIN' THE CORN oder BLUE RIDGE CABIN HOME

1989 - “And The Hartford String Band” - John Hartford's Down on the River is an old-timey tribute to the Mississippi River and its steamboats, casinos and saloons, filled with campy salutes to a forgotten lifestyles, as well as surprisingly affectionate paens to a lost era. Hartford's approach may be too kitschy for some -- after all, there are several songs driven by calliope -- yet its a thoroughly entertaining album for listeners that share his obsessions, or at least his fondness for fine, old-timey banjo....very rare on vinyl !!!

1982 - Hot Rize Presents Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers recorded live in Niwot, Colorado in 1982. This Colorado-based band is comprised of first-rate musicians steeped in the tradition, letter-perfect pickin’ and strong, pile-driving bluegrass harmonies, but with a few contemporary notions of their own! Red Knuckles (vocal & acoustic guitar), Wendell Mercantile (electric guitar), Waldo Otto (steel guitar) + Slade (bass)

rares Album mit einem Live Konzert der Band um Tim O'Brien und Pete Wernick aus dem Jahr 1984 + Red Knuckles And The Trailblazers mit Songs wie MY LITTLE DARLIN' - LET ME LOVE YOU ONE MORE TIME - YOUR LIGHT LEADS ME ON oder TEXAS HAMBONE BLUES

1987 - The combo of vocalist/fiddler/mandolinist Tim O' Brien and banjo player Pete Wernick was never stronger than on Hot Rize's 1987 release Untold Stories. Never as "progressive" as some of their peers (New Grass Revival, the Seldom Scene, Country Gazette), Hot Rize were able to hold on to the trappings of traditional roots music without ever letting it sound stale or too "old-timey." The underrated vocals of O'Brien harmonize beautifully with Wernick and bassist Nick Foster, and the dobro playing of the ubiquitous Jerry Douglas soars over several tracks.

2015 - (hier auf Vinyl als Doppel LP) It is now getting more and more common to see artists from other genres putting out Bluegrass albums of their own. ...we can say that Keen has picked out a very nice selection of songs, some of which include LONG BLACK VEIL, POOR ELLEN SMITH, VINCENT BLACK LIGHTNING, T FOR TEXAS, EAST VIRGINIA BLUES, THE WALLS OF TIME, WHITE DOVE and OLD HOME PLACE. Among the nine backing musicians are Danny Barnes (banjo & guitar), Marty Muse (dobro) and Sara Watkins on fiddle, and there are guest appearances by Lyle Lovett, Peter Rowan, and Natalie Maines.
