Bluegrass Express

Product Description:
Welcome to our look at the magic relationship between bluegrass music and trains. From the very dawn of country music in 1923, and from the first successful bluegrass in the 1940s, musicians have sought to capture the speed and beauty of one of the most exciting chapters of Americana. Bluegrass even resembles the sound of the train: the clattering of the drivers echoed by the rolling banjo; the straight, true, hard steel rails resembling the empowering drive of the rhythm guitar; and the wail of the whistle calling up the long, edgy strokes of the long bow fiddle. Bluegrass Express, compiled by Michael Hyatt and Ken Irwin with liner notes by Charles K. Wolfe, presents some of the best bluegrass train songs recorded from 1950 to the present.

Hard drive style of banjo.......2005-02-02

Alan Munde, in my opinion, he's the finest 5-strings banjo player in the world! He plays the instrument with precision, the sound it's clear and clean and distinctive.In these recording you will have the pleasure to hear the virtuosic picking, and inventive arrangements.
