It was once announced from a
Moxy Fruvous stage that the banjo is the future of music. These two recordings go far to support that proposition.
The Masters is a bluegrass all- star band led by banjoist
Eddie Adcock (
Country Gentlemen, IInd Generation,
Talk of the Town). He joins fiddler
Kenny Baker (
Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys), mandolin player
Jesse McReynolds (Jim and Jesse & The Virginia Boys) and the "King of the Dobro",
Josh Graves. The instrumental album is a landmark recording, dripping with talent. The classic album will remain a touchstone among bluegrass recordings for years to come. ~ Tom Schulte
