5.0 out of 5 stars
Great picking, good singing,
By
This review is from: Folkways Years 1964-83 (Audio CD)
Red Allen's vocals are indeed high and lonesome as the Amazon reviewer says, but they lack the chilling soulfulness of Bill Monroe or Ralph Stanley. But whose don't? The reason to buy this is for the extraordinary picking, esp. by Frank Wakefield (that's Franklin Delano Wakefield to you, New Deal nostalgists), as well as by Red. Bill Keith appears for a couple of dazzling banjo-mando duets, and Vassar Clements also performs some early magic. All in all, passionate, beautiful exhilirating!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great 1960s bluegrass!,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Folkways Years 1964-83 (Audio CD)
A stunning set of "high lonesome" recordings from one of Bill Monroe's greatest folk revival disciples. The soft-pedaled vocals are sublime, the picking is flawless, and the material is classic. A wonderful retrospective, with not a single wasted moment. Highly recommended & sizzling.
