Sorry team, I misfiled this one, thinking the band was called Long Time...Seldom Scene. Doh.
Never the mind. The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band albums have whetted my appetite for this most American of musical genres. So, when I saw it in the sale bins at JB Hi Fi it was a no-brainer.
Seldom Scene have been at it for many years, since 1971 in fact. They know what they are doing! Apart from the two featured songs above, there are some excellent covers on this set - songs by Dylan, John Prine, John Fogerty and of course, what would a bluegrass album be without a song by Bill Monroe?
Where do they all belong? Needs to go into its proper place in the S's.
