Details:
This is the music that I describe as âGalaxâ or âMt. Airyâ bluegrass - the sound and style that evoke memories of Ted Lundy, Larry Richardson, Roy McMillan, Joe Edd King, Joe Greene and countless others. The rhythm and timing are solid, the instrumental work is clean and tasteful, and the vocals are heartfelt. The music is hard-edged with a live flavor, not honed to perfection by repeated takes and overdubs. Big Country Bluegrass is in the forefront in keeping authentic, traditional bluegrass alive.

This is an excellent recording. The music, the harmony, the timing is perfect. Big Country Bluegrass is a favorite at the Carter Fold. I believe this band will go far in the bluegrass field.

Here is a great recording a person should have in their collection. This type ofbluegrass music needs to be preserved in a professional manner and Big Country Bluegrass is doing just that.

During their last several years, Big Country Bluegrass has built a fine reputation for the best in traditional bluegrass music. The core group of Tommy and Teresa Sells, Larry Pennington and Alan Mastin is not only rock solid with their music, theyâre equally strong with their taste and knowledge of the musicâs roots. The bandâs past lead singers include such names as Udell McPeak and James King; however, it is with their present lead singer and fiddler, Jeff Michael, that the band has crystallized itâs purest traditional sound. Jeff has deeply studied the music, following it back to itâs guiding force, Bill Monroe. His bluesy instrumental talents, and his moving, soulful lead and harmony singing highlight an award winning band sound that is the very heart and soul of bluegrass music.
