UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - Little Grasscals (The): Bluegrass

Bluegrass is an original American art form, known and loved across the globe. On this CD you’ll hear some of Nashville’s finest bluegrass pickers of the newer generation: ace mandolin player Mike Compton; hot fiddlers Shad Cobb and Jason Carter; Scruggs disciple Dave Talbot on banjo; traditional bluegrass vocal stylists Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson, Mike Armistead and father Lester Armistead; resonator guitar virtuoso Rob Ickes; sure and steady string bassists Mike Bub and Terry Smith; and Booie Beach contributing the aggressive and exciting guitar runs. Here they dig into some of the music’s great traditional numbers and in the best bluegrass style find new nuggets of gold.
