Bluegrass

2013er Album der Band um Tommy & Teresa Sells (als Gast ist Don Rigsby dabei) mit 14 traditionellen Bluegrass Titeln wie MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT - HEADIN' SOUTH oder das starke LIKE THE BOYS ON MUSIC ROW

2019 - now in their 32nd year, Big Country Bluegrass continues to record good hard bluegrass albums. Their music makes no compromises, made for bluegrass fans, as befits an ensemble named for a Jimmy Martin song. Once again Big Country Bluegrass comes through with a dozen well selected songs, mostly by contemporary writers. You know what you are going to get with a Big Country Bluegrass album, and that’s a good thing.

Album aus dem Jahr 2010 mit 15 traditionellen Bluegrass Titeln wie ALL THE WAY TO NOTHING - TOP HAT RAMBLE oder WRECK OF THE HIGHWAY

2007 - Norman Blake, one of our heroes, can always be counted on for his honest treatment of old-time tunes and songs (and he’s also written some classics), and here he presents 18 of them in simple, straightforward fashion, sharing the proceedings with his long time friend and fellow Georgian Tut Taylor. According to the credits Nancy Blake is also featured, but we’d like to hear more of her on the disc—especially her lovely cello work, which always provides a nice texture to their music. Several tunes are painfully slow and listless, lacking the energy we’d expect from this trio. GOING TO GEORGIA, WORRIED BLUES, TAG RAILROAD RAG, LIZZIE HUBBARD BLUES, ODE TO BASCOM, STEEL GUITAR BLUES, etc

1999 - dieses Projekt entführt die Hörer mit großartiger Fingerpicking Artistik durch die üppigen Musiklandschaften zwischen Blakes südlichen Appalachen und O'Briens texanischer Prärie ...16 Titel wie TEXOLA WALTZ und GRANDPA'S BARN

Album von 2011 auf Western Jubilee veröffentlicht mit 17 Titeln, darunter LITTLE BUNCH OF ROSES - THE TRAMP und STEEL GUITAR CHIMES

2016 - In the past we have noted several good albums by Audie Blaylock—a good singer and musician who in the past was a member of Jimmy Martin’s group, then played later with Rhonda Vincent’s band. Blaylock has been known for solid traditional music, always with some recognizable songs and tunes. But this CD is a step in another direction, mostly because the 10 songs here are not outstanding and don’t seem to fit the style that Blaylock has established over the years. We waited patiently through the 10 tracks for something memorable, but even the more familiar last cut (COUSIN SALLY BROWN) suffered by being played too fast. Backing Audie up here are Evan Ward (banjo), Patrick McAvinue (Fiddle & Mandolin), and Reed Jones (acoustic bass).

Album von 2007 - eingespielt u.a. mit Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Dan Tyminski, Adam Steffey sowie Mitgliedern der Cox Family und der Forbes Family - tolle Stimme und 12 fantastische Titel

2019er Album der Bluegrass Band eingespielt mit dem niederländischen Singer/Songwriter Tim Knol; die Musik von Tim Knol wird oft mit dem Roots-Rock von Gram Parsons, Wilco und Ryan Adams verglichen... 12 Songs wie THE DEEP DARK WOODS - LIES AND ALIBIS und HAPPY HOUR

2016 - Zum 25-jährigen Jubiläum ist dieses Album erschienen: es wurden 16 Songs von 16 befreundeten Musikern aus all den Jahren auf Wunsch dieser "verbluegrasst" und von ihnen gesungen, u.a.  JESUS & THE OUTLAW von Danny Vera, ZO FIJN von Clean Pete, REARVIEW MIRROR von Tim Knol oder RUIMTETUIN von Dave von Raven
