The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark/Through the Morning, Through the Night
(1989)

by
Dillard & Clark
The Dillard & Clark duo was Gene Clark's most artistically successful post-Byrds collaboration, and his best venture into country-rock as well. With Chris Hillman and Bernie Leadon playing behind the duo throughout the first album, in many ways it is as much an offshoot of the Flying Burrito Brothers' work as it is of the Byrds, with more of the ...

Bill Monroe
Another great JSP boxed set of archival music at a budget price, All the Classic Releases 1937-1949 collects a great selection of Bill Monroe's recordings both with his Bluegrass Boys and with his brother Charlie as the Monroe Brothers. The extensive (though not really informative) liner notes don't really shed any light as to whether these are ...

Classic Bluegrass Collection

by
Various Artists
Although most people think of bluegrass as an old form of Southern mountain music, it's actually a fairly recent creation, gaining its shape at the same time as rock & roll in the late '40s and early '50s and making use of the same technology (portable microphones and electric amplification) as rock & roll did to catch on and spread. The new ...

Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs
When Flatt & Scruggs appeared on the Carnegie Hall stage in December of 1962, it was proof that bluegrass music had hit the big time. Guitarist and singer Lester Flatt and banjo god Earl Scruggs (who has been credited, not entirely accurately, with inventing the three-finger picking style that distinguishes bluegrass banjo playing from its old ...

O Bandwagon, Where Art Thou? In the frenzied rush to capitalize on the unprecedented success of the film (oh, you know which one), many labels have cranked out one old-timey collection after another. Luckily in this case, the RCA labels have the archives to back up their compilation and what results is sort of a second primer on traditional ...

Bill Monroe
No moment of the birth of bluegrass goes unremembered in the dusty vocal stylings of the great Kentuckian Bill Monroe. Furthermore, no speedier, crystalline mandolin gets strummed better here, there, or anywhere. Monroe's the real deal, as they say in all parts of Kentucky and far beyond, and his full-throttle performance in the pristine hills of ...

A Proper Introduction to Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

by
Flatt & Scruggs
Tennessee guitarist and singer Lester Flatt and North Carolina banjo whiz Earl Scruggs had the best bluegrass band going between 1948 and 1969, and the duo's hyperkinetic approach became the template for the overdriven sound that most people still think of when they think of bluegrass. After breaking away from Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs formed ...

Dillard & Clark's second outing was a disappointment in relation to their far more eclectic and original prior effort, The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark. The primary difference is that whereas the earlier record had leaned on Gene Clark's original compositions, and a reasonably adventurous attitude toward country-rock fusion in general, ...

Although the Monroe Brothers initially made their name singing gospel, Vol. 2 of Rounder's series features mostly secular material. All 15 sides (including a few on Vol. 1) were recorded during two "quick and dirty" sessions in June and October 1936, most of them in a single take. Still, the playing is tight and the material generally excellent, ...
