This BLUEGRASS is the TRUEGRASS!,
This review is from: Family (Audio CD)
The Del McCoury Band is a force to be reckoned with! Anyone that thinks traditional bluegrass is stale should hear these guys! As much as I love newgrass (Bela Fleck, Sam Bush) and slamgrass (Leftover Salmon) this is the real thing. They even play around a stading microphone in concert. McCoury's voice is one in a million...the best bluegrass voice I've ever heard. This album is smoking from start to finish. From the opening gallop of "A Far Cry" to the good humour and strut of "Nashville Cats" to the Bill Monroe classic "Get Down On Your Knees and Pray" this album covers all things great about bluegrass. Great playing, great singing, songs about real life, humor, and songs you wouldn't be afraid to let your kids hear. Its true family music (Del's two sons are in the group.)Guitar, violin, bass, banjo & mandolin = true bluegrass perfection. The fiery instrumental "Red Eyes on a Mad Dog" will almost make you tired just sitting there. I don't typically like to go overboard with superlatives, but this is just the way it should be! Buy this immediately, you won't be sorry.

High Lonesome,
This review is from: Family (Audio CD)
Del McCoury has such a unique and powerful voice. And these songs showcase just how good he can be. In addition, the band, with sons Rob and Ronnie, is faultless. There are some great bluegrass bands out there, but these guys may be the best. And Ronnie could well be the world's most talented madolin player. There is not a bad song on the CD, but their version of "Nashville Cats" followed by Bill Monroe's "Get Down on Your Knees and Pray" is a notable high point. There is so much life, love and passion coming from every voice and every instrument. So, like the image on the disk suggests, lets raise our glasses and toast a living ledgend of bluegrass... Ladies and Gentlemen... Del McCoury.

THE Bluegrass Band,
By erik bathe (cookeville,tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family (Audio CD)
After listening to this cd several times,I have concluded that it is similar to all of Del's cd's-pretty darn good.Red Eyes On a Mad Dog is an excellent song featuring Ronnie McCoury on mandolin.This cd(as most of Del's cd's) includes good deathgrass songs like Henry Walker.I have seen this band live on several occasions and believe that anyone who sees this band will leave with a smile on their face wandering when they will be able to see another show.The only thing keeping this band from "stardom" is the lack of exposure because ther is NO better band in the WORLD.Bill is smiling in heaven with the direction this band has taken bluegrass.
