The Del McCoury band is the finest band in the oldtime bluegrass tradition on the market today. This album showcases, as usual, awesome instrumentals and fine covers by Del and his two sons. Ronnie is perhaps the best bluegrass mandolin player in the business and this is the album where he really comes into the forefront of the bands "modern oldtime" sound.

Anyone who has ever listened to Del McCoury will never forget that voice. The band plays some of the bluest of blues songs that are soul stirring and gut wrenching. With every pick, strum, pluck, or pull, the music is awesome. This is one of the best rainy day and lonesome bluegrass cds I've ever listened to. This is a must for bluegrass lovers.

del mccoury's "deeper shade of blue" is on par with "cold hard facts". the del mccoury band is without peer in bluegrass! this is a must have bluegrass CD.

This is a great bluegrass album. Del McCoury band at their best. I would love to see this recording get remastered. The songs are all great. Not a single weak track. The musicianship is superb throughout. I give it my highest rating.
