This review is from: Bluegrass All-Stars Play Country Classics (Audio CD)

This is a funny album, at least in its outward emulation of those old '60s LPs where anonymous house bands on tiny, fly-by-night labels would knock off perfunctory versions of the hits of the day. But this particular band, featuring Butch Baldassari, Jim Hurst, Scott Vestal and fiddler Tammy Rogers, among others, has surely racked up a few more credibility points than, say, the Crown Music Orchestra or the Red River Singers. This is an all-instrumental set of country cover tunes, sticking pretty faithfully to the '50s/'60s heartsong canon, with grassed-up versions of oldies by Hank Williams, Don Gibson, Harlan Howard, and others. It's not the most innovative or rip-roaring album ever, but the picking's pretty nice, and it's easy on the ears.
