REVIEW “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 an already essential reissue.”(David Duckman — Chicago Tribune) |
