    Very similar to the rounder release but live. Very average bluegrass music in the grand scheme of things but with Jerry Garcia.

    Round Records release, nor Rounder.

    Nothing with Frank Wakefield on it is average, in my opinion. He brings it up a notch. Yes, Don Reno and Chubby Wise are sorely missed on this post Pistol Packin' Mama tour. It's loosey goosey, but what live bluegrass should sound like in a bar like the Catalyst.

    yes, round records, the Pistol packin mamma release. It certainly has a bar band feel to it in the very best way. For me...If I take out my bias for the love of all things Jerry Garcia and review the album as a bluegrass album as compared to all the other bluegrass albums I own, average feels like the right call if not a bit generous. But to be fair, it wasn't created to be an album. It was a night at a bar for a band that didn't play together very many times.

    I see drums on the cover. They almost hid them well, but not well enough.

    The guitar playing of Andy Falco really is on point.

    First time I saw them it was a small bluegrass fest in Durango. It was March 08 and Andy had just joined the band. My buddy and I were/are big Chris Eldridge fans so we came in skeptical and we left as converts ha

    6 more weeks to Telluride...

    Exactly what you think Porter singing bluegrass would sound like. It’s all about porter singing and on the side of pop country of the day, RCA slick production. I’d say it’s a great Porter album and about as bluegrass as an episode of Beverly hillbillies

    Wow, and I always thought the Beverly Hillbillies was the purest of bluegrass.

    Yeah, it's kind of hard to connect Porter and bluegrass. Interesting.

    This week, I was driving a country road in Western Pennsylvania, in the process of falling asleep at the wheel when a “Green Acres” looking place appeared with all kinds of antique junk sitting around outside. I stopped. Inside I found the proprietor who was delighted to have someone to talk to. “Any records?”, I got around to asking. “Yep, right out on the porch in the wooden cabinet.” I thought, Oh boy another stack of moldy vinyl. But out I went. A short time later I walked away with 25 NM/VG+ gems amongst which were:

    John Hartford - Housing Project
    The Dillard’s - Vs the Incredible L.A. Time Machine
    High Country - Dreams
    Bill Monroe - Bean Blossom
    New Grass Revival- Fly Through The Country
    Cross Country - S/T
    Bob Dylan/ John Wesley Harding

    I have been waiting on a gal from Western New York who has a stash of bluegrass including a bunch of Norman Blake which I am eager to obtain. She just is overwhelmed with the sheer volume of her collection which she inherited from a deceased family member who was a regional promotional coordinator for National Record Mart back in the day. I foolishly sold all my Norman Blake vinyl back in my college days. I’m ashamed to admit what I spent that money on.

    :thumbsup: Anyone buying Norman Blake albums is OK with me. He and Nancy are national treasures.

    My wife worked/managed for NRM mid-70's to mid-80's so she might have known that person.

    I met Norman and Nancy at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site, Mentor, Ohio. They played at the grand reopening of the Garfield house in 1998 after a six year 12.5 million dollar restoration. They drove up from Georgia I suppose, in a humble camper which was parked on the property. Yes, I’d say they are National Treasures. He never chased after more lucrative popular music, instead choosing to record “old timey” traditional fare. When anyone questions his guitar prowess I steer them toward “Whiskey Before Breakfast”. He is a lightning quick flat pick artist when he wants to be.
