Jesse can do it all!.......2005-11-11

Bending or breaking the rules doesn't always guarantee the creation of great music, but in this case the "bending" has made the music soar. Two great artist traded energy and licks to produce a cd of diverse music. Each piece has just the arrangements of mandolin and fiddle. From the speed demon "Blowin' up a Strong" to a standard that I thought I would not want to hear again, until now, "Sweet Georgia Brown."
I saw Jesse and the Virginia Boys recently, at Fort Bledsoe Bluegrass Festival, playing at 9:30 of a cold, cold night, but his hot playing, found on this cd, heated audience! Highly recommended!
