REVIEW Arhoolie Records has just made available for the first time on CD the very first recordings of Del McCoury. "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" is a rather primitive sounding recording from 1967, but McCoury's vocals are strong and clear and the energy and enthusiasm of his backing band is awesome. This is an essential document of one of the current leading lights in bluegrass.(CMJ New Music Report) |

Del McCoury is finally getting the recognition he deserves, due in large part to several outstanding recent albums. However, in 1967, when this session was recorded, McCoury's high tenor was already among the most satisfying sounds in bluegrass. His bluesy delivery is passionate, bright and technically accurate, yet touched with a haunting melancholy. The result is a voice that is both exhilarating and introspective, embodying the best of the tradition while remaining unique and easily recognizable. This CD includes two previously unreleased tracks, and the sound has been remixed to produce a more natural balance, further enhancing and already essential reissue.
