Even Better When You Turn It Up

When the bluegrass bug finally bit, I was struck at how the first generation pickers were more rock 'n roll than rock itself had seemed to be for a long time. They played with such ferocity, sang with such passion, bled their lives onto the page when they wrote.

Just listen to Eddie Adcock’s banjo work all throughout this tune, but especially in the kickoff, and you’ll hear what I’m talking about. It’s even better when you turn it up.

This is The Country Gentlemen with “Handsome Molly”.
