Product Description

Originally released in 1961, Folk Songs and Bluegrass was the first album by the band known retrospectively as "The Classic" Country Gentlemen: Charlie Waller (guitar), John Duffey (mandolin), Eddie Adcock (banjo), and Tom Gray (bass). Together they created a unique sound, expanding musical horizons and attracting new audiences. They rightfully earned the band their reputation as the originators of progressive bluegrass.

This album bears many of the hallmarks of their distinctive sound, such as a cutting-edge repertoire bolstered by a variety of instrumental and vocal techniques. For example, listen to Gray's dynamic bass on "Little Bessie" and the group's striking trio harmonies on "Remembrance of You."

These sixteen classic performances were digitally remastered and reissued in 1991, accompanied by song texts and new notes by folklorist Neil V. Rosenberg.

clarity and precision
By Christopher D. Mahoney
The Country Gentleman play with clarity and preceision on this album of songs recorded by Mike Seeger in 1961. While the Gentleman were not exactly country boys, they were certainly NOT purveyors of the sort of ersatz folk music presented by the Kingston Trio. What they may have lacked in terms of backwoods (or mountain-top) credentials, they made up for with brilliant playing and arrangements, and deep understanding of their material. Their close vocal harmonies are truly admirable. Wonderful versions of "Handsome Molly" and "Standing in the Need of Prayer" are highlights of this worthwhile album.
