Appalachian Swing! is one of the most influential albums in the whole of bluegrass music, primarily because of the stunning playing of Clarence White. With his vibrant, innovative flat-picking, White helped pioneer a new style in bluegrass; namely, he redefined the acoustic guitar as a solo instrument instead of confining it to just background status. The sound was revolutionary upon its release in 1964 and the music still sounds alive, even timeless, because of the strength of White's vision and talent. He was one of the greatest musicians in bluegrass history and the fact that Appalachian Swing! still sounds fresh makes his tragic death all the more painful. (Tom Owens, Allmusic)

Thanks, Gyro... Clarence White was one of the giant of the Bluegrass guitar. Unfortunately he died tragically much too young. This excellent LP is a testimony to his (and his brother) extraordinary musicianship

Tiny Grimes was one of the earliest jazz electric guitarists to be influenced by Charlie Christian, and he developed his own swinging style. Early on, he was a drummer and worked as a pianist in Washington. In 1938, he started playing electric guitar, and two years later he was playing in a popular jive group, the Cats and a Fiddle. During 1943-1944, Grimes was part of a classic Art Tatum Trio which also included Slam Stewart. In September 1944, he led his first record date, using Charlie Parker; highlights include the instrumental "Red Cross" and Grimes' vocal on "Romance Without Finance (Is a Nuisance)." He also recorded for Blue Note in 1946, and then put together an R&B-oriented group, "the Rockin' Highlanders," that featured the tenor of Red Prysock during 1948-1952. Although maintaining a fairly low profile, Tiny Grimes was active up until his death, playing in an unchanged swing/bop transitional style and recording as a leader for such labels as Prestige/Swingville, Black & Blue, Muse, and Sonet.

(soniclovenoize Basement Tapes reconstruction)
This is the Bob Dylan album that never was: his Basement Tapes, organized into a singular, cohesive album as it would have existed in 1967. Iíve used all the original recordings that do not have the extra overdubs found on the official release from 1975, and Iíve remixed this into true stereo. This will be nothing you havenít heard before (although they are all my own unique stereo mixes), but this is presented as the presumed album that chronologically would have appeared between Blonde On Blonde and John Wesley Harding
Side A:
1. Odds and Ends
2. Million Dollar Bash
3. Lo and Behold!
4. This Wheelís On Fire
5. I Shall Be Released
6. Please Mrs. Henry
7. Too Much Of Nothing
Side B:
8. Tears Of Rage
9. Yea! Heavy and A Bottle Of Bread
10. Crash On The Levee
11. You Ainít Goin Nowhere
12. Quinn The Eskimo
13. Open The Door, Homer
14. Nothing Was Delivered

Luther "Snake Boy" Johnson (August 30, 1934 – March 18, 1976) was an American Chicago blues and electric blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was also known as Luther "Snake" Johnson or Luther "Georgia Boy" Johnson, and was otherwise billed as both Luther King and Little Luther (under the latter he recorded for Chess Records in the 1960s).[1]
Allmusic journalist, Ron Wynn, stated "Johnson's own inimitable vocals, raspy lines and tart guitar eventually create his own aura... a good, occasionally outstanding blues artist.

Plainsong was a short-lived folk-rock outfit with country-rock leanings that briefly provided a pretty close British equivalent to the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Singer-songwriter Iain Matthews had been the frontman with Fairport Convention during their early West Coast-influenced period, and had subsequently enjoyed moderate success as a solo artist and with his pioneering British country-rock outfit Southern Comfort. His main collaborator in Plainsong would be guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Roberts, former musical kingpin of the loose collective of folk musicians and performance poets known as the Liverpool Scene. Rounding out the new band were bassist/pianist David Richards and Californian acoustic guitarist Bob Ronga, with percussion being provided on an ad-hoc basis by Iain’s former Fairport colleague Dave Mattacks or fellow folk-rock stalwart Timi Donald. The gentle irony of the band’s name belies their strengths: Matthews’s angelic voice and their superb four-part harmonies, plus immaculate instrumental backings.

Thank for the Colonels and definitely curious to hear "Big Pink" (though I wouldn't mind hearing at least some of the upcoming 6-cd set as well). Great stuff to help this very dreary and rainy day in NYC feel a little brighter. Thanks, Gyro!
Thank you, Gyro... Thanks to Wiley Terry's daughter I've been able to even add unseen photos by our man on the post of my blog!
Ha, ha. I just bought the Colonel's last week from my local library for $i aussie, someone had donated a pile of Blues and C&W cds and videos, I think I'm the only person buying them when they put them out!
