The veteran banjo picker is in top form as always on this mostly instrumental 14-track recording. Nine of the cuts are Emerson originals, and he includes a Ralph Stanley tune (DICKENSON COUNTY BREAKDOWN) and 3 well played traditional tunes in CHILLY WINDS, JESSE JAMES and POOR REBEL SOLDIER. There are three vocals --one by Tom Adams and one featuring Marshall Wilbourn and Lynn Morris. Helping out on mandolin are Jimmy Gaudreau and Chris Henry, with Tom Adams playing guitar, Wilbourn on bass, and Jenny Obert on fiddle. A solid disc by this former Country Gent and member of Jimmy Martin's band.
