CEDAR HILL 'By Request - A 50 Year Tradition'
Cedar Hill leader Frank Ray is one of three creators with Don Brown and Dean Webb of the Missouri mandolin style - borne of copying what they heard Bill Monroe play on the Opry without ever having seen him play. Cedar Hill, not to be confused with the Atlanta-based band of the same name, offers almost all original songs in a traditional bluegrass setting little influenced by the bass-heavy, trio and quartet vocal style so popular for the last 30 years. At their quite enjoyable best the band puts old ideas in new vessels to excellent effect.
