Bluegrass

2016 - “Nightbird” After a couple of records on other small labels, this talented group has now issued their third compact disc for the Compass label. It features fine singing from three ladies of the Bankester family, Melissa, Alisha and Emily; (since their earlier recordings, two of them have married and now sing under the names Triplett and Pitney). A pleasant CD of contemporarly Bluegrass

2021 - His new album, titled “+1” follows up on his “Portraits In Fiddles” which was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2018. +1 has been four years in the making and features Eddie Barbash, Maeve Gilchris, Alex Hargreaves, Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz, Dominick Leslie, Ricky Skaggs, Nat Smith and Molly Tuttle. While this new release may not be in the same maverick territory of The Deadly Gentlemen, there is no shortage of breadth to its coverage ranging from traditional American tunes to newgrass with elements of Celtic music, pop and jazz-tinged improvisation thrown in for good measure. Barnett steht auf den Schultern der Fiddle-Innovatoren Darol Anger, Stuart Duncan und Mark O'Connor und ist bereit, sich als einer der größten Visionäre seiner Generation auf der Fiddle zu etablieren.

2007 - Stevie Barr, banjo player and leader of the bluegrass band “No Speed Limit”, comes from the musically rich town of Galax, Virginia. Here he gathers his friends from around the area to display some of that deep cultural background on this album, which is steeped in the old-time and bluegrass traditions of the area, as well as some unusual twists and turns. Banjo tunes, fiddle tunes, gospel songs, old ballads and new songs are all tied together by the talented musicians of the area and Stevie's banjo….incl. Eddie Bond (fiddle & vocals), Wayne Henderson (guitar), Jesse Lovell (guitar & vocals) and more… 21 Songs

2002 - Three things give this release a lot more strength and impact than their previous Sugar Hill album. The strong lead singing of new member Junior Sisk, a good selection of songs, and the wonderful fiddling of quest Ronnie Stewart. Building around the always excellent playing of Terry Baucom on banjo and Alan Bibey on mandolin, the group really rises to its potential on the 13 cuts heard here. Solid from start to finish, this is a fine album of solid, hard-driving North Carolina style Bluegrass. 

eingespielt u.a. mit Adam Steffey, Doyle Lawson, Russell Moore und den Gibson Brothers....12 Titel wie GOOD TIME MOUNTAIN MAN - I WISH YOU KNEW oder THE SENTENCE

2017 - Terry Baucom has always had good taste when it comes to the music his bands release, and without even listening to the first song, you know you’ll get driving music in a traditional-leaning style. Fourth and Goal is no different. The Dukes of Drive prove themselves to be a tight band with particularly strong vocal abilities who know a well-written song when they see one...with Joey Hannabach, Shawn Lane and others 

2023 - Benson ist eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen zwei der wertvollsten Instrumentalisten der Bluegrass-Musik: Wayne und Kristin Scott Benson. Mit jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung in hochkarätigen Bands haben sich beide als feste Größen in der Community etabliert. Kristin ist seit 2008 Mitglied der GRAMMY-nominierten Grascals und Wayne ist ein 25-jähriger Veteran der siebenmaligen IBMA Vocal Group of the Year, Russell Moore und IIIrd Tyme Out. Das Album bietet eine Mischung aus traditionellem Bluegrass und einer Vielzahl anderer Genres, darunter ein Beatles-Cover und Country-Hits. Die Vielfalt des Albums spiegelt die Breite der musikalischen Interessen der Bensons und die kollektiven Talente der Gruppe wider.

1995 - 8 Titel mit diesen 3 außergewöhnlichen Musikern: Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Mohanvina), Jerry Douglas (Dobro) und Edgar Meyer (Bass) - u.a. DESERT WINDS oder MISSISSIPPI MUD

2015 - This regional band from southwest Virginia always has an interesting assortment of songs, well played and well sung, and this is another solid effort. Some of the highlights are BLUE RIVER, EASY MEMORIES, SNOW WHITE GRAVE, MY LONELY HEART, JUST AN OLD FRIEND and two Tom T. & Dixie Hall songs, BLUEFIELD WEST VIRGINIA BLUES, THE COTTON MILL SONG, and HOUND DOG FROM HARLAN.

2016 -  …. Led by the husband & wife team of Tommy and Teresa Sells, this excellent band is another product of the rich musical tradition found in Southwestern Virginia. While they do not travel extensively (in order to hold down other jobs and professions), they are this year celebrating 30 years as a band. A nice feature here is a listing of many of the other artists who have been members of this band over the years, these include Udell McPeak, Jeff Michael, Jimmy Trivette, Don Rigsby, Billy Hawks, Johnny Williams, Lynwood Lunsford and the late James King.
