Two great first generation mandolin pickers, each with his own distinctive style, combine here on a really enjoyable 16 track collection that even includes Bobby and Jesse playing fiddles on one tune(BONAPARTE'S RETREAT). Four of the cuts are vocals, two form the repertoire of the Osborne Brother(MEMORIES & BLUEGRASS EXPRESS)and two from Jim & Jesse(JUST WONDERI9NG WHY & DRIFTING & DREAMING). The remaining numbers are a fine mixture of fiddle tunes (SOLDIER'S JOY, EAST TENNESSEE BLUES, COTTON PATCH RAG, GOODBYE LIZA JANE) waltzes, a good version of Bill Monroe's CHEYENNE, and several good originals. With Shad Cobb(fiddle), Charlie Cushman, Terry Eldredge & Terry Smith helping out this is a nicely done disc. NIGHT RUNNER, OKEECHOBEE WIND, SURE FIRE, etc.
