True Bluegrass
'CD Front Cover Art'
TRUE BLUEGRASS 79 Re-issued:
In 1979 "True Bluegrass" recorded this project at Complex
One studios in Indiana, Pa. Everything was done in one take, open
ensemble type "Live" recording session. No re-takes or
over-dubs, fixes etc.
It was not released at that time and was all but forgotten. However
bassest Jim Rankin saved it and in 1998 had it re-mastered, and
just a small number were released, as the band was no longer working.
Soon many folks were contacting the past members requesting a copy,
so there was another run made and sold. They have been unavailable
now for several years but still folks have been asking for copies.
So now we have the third edition available. This new version has
all different but original graphics and photos from 1979, along
with new liner notes by our friend John Trout of WYEP.
It includes the same 19 numbers as before. Several of these are
still being performed by the current Blue Shades band. Others have
become some of Vince's most often requested numbers, such as "With
Care From Someone"
It features the warm and smooth singing style of the late Bob Thompson
on guitar who along with Banjo player and baritone singing Vince
Bartlebaugh founded the band in the early 70's.
The up-right bass was ably handled by Jim Rankin, of Indiana, Pa.
The then newest band member was Brad Foust on Mandolin which he
had been playing for only a couple years at that time, as well as
learning the harmony and lead vocal parts from the afore-mentioned
Veterans.
The CD is available at all Blue Shades appearances or just contact
us via e-mail, for $10.00, or $12.00 w/ S&H.
