If you're serious about bluegrass music, this as an album you'll want for your musical library. From the opening instrumental,"Thanks Wade", to the final song, "A Touch Of The Past", which is also the title track, this album is ALIVE with the true spirit of the music loved by millions. It is much, much more than just a bluegrass album...it's where the music came from, how that past has influenced where it is today and where it's going as well.

Benny Martin, Earl Scruggs, Mac Wiseman, Sonny Osborne, John Hartford, Billy Rose, Terry Eldridge, Vassar Clements, Alison Krauss, Josh Graves, David Greer, Jimmy Campbell, Leroy Troy... just to name a few of the many friends of Larry's who contributed to make this album a classic... for many years to come.

Larry Perkins is my friend and he is a gentleman in the old time sense of the word. He is highly respected by the greatest names in the bluegrass world for his dedication to the past of the music and for his vision of the music as an evolving form.

This recording is an important event in American music.Will The Circle Be Unbroken comes to mind and A Touch Of The Past is equally as amazing to hear.
The disc is loaded with the brightest stars in Bluegrass but without fail it is Mr.Perkins who will leave you shaking your head in awe.
Talent like this doesn't come around often.When Larry touches the strings his banjo has a life of it's own
This is as good as it gets.
