Second generation Baltimore bluegrass scene veterans, led by Frankie Short, Jr on vocals and guitar, Bobby Lundy on banjo, and bassman Brian Eldreth deliver an album razor-sharp traditional bluegrass. Northern Connection mixes mostly classics with a few lesser known songs from the old days. The latter include an early Del McCoury composition, "Loggin' Man," written on a dare by the boss at his day job back in the day.
