A new label (Rural Rhythm) for this well traveled Bluegrass band that was so influential in the 1990s for developing a slightly different style of Bluegrass that combined the traditional with the contemporary, based around Sammy Shelor's hard driving banjo style. Shelor continues to lead the band, and he has always maintained a top flight band --this version of the group includes Andy Ball (mandolin), veteran Mike Hartgrove (fiddle), Mike Anglin (bass), and lead singer and guitarist Brandon Rickman, who rejoined the band after some time away. The band has chosen a nice program of 14 songs from different sources --Rickman's DIME STORE RINGS and Larry Cordle's WIRES & WOOD are particularly good. ONE LITTLE TEARDROP, FLOWERS, MOLLY, I'D WORSHIP YOU, LONG WAY FROM HERE, DARKNESS WEPT, etc.
