JIM MILLS 'Hide Head Blues'
Mills, the IBMA Banjo Player of the Year (several times over) uses several different 5-string banjos on this, his third solo album. A very nice feature—especially for instrument aficionados—is full color photos of each of the 4 Gibson banjos that Mills uses (three RB-75s and the “Snuffy Jenkins” RB-4). Mills’ descriptions and histories of the 4 instruments also make a fascinating feature. There are guest vocals on a few cuts by Dan Tyminski, Paul Brewster, and Don Rigsby. Fine work by one of the finest 5-string artists of today. PICK ALONG, OLD HEN, DADDY FRANK, THEME TIME, TEMPERENCE REEL etc.
