This review is from: That High Lonesome Sound - Live Recordings 1973 1 (Audio CD)
I bought this album because it's considered a classic, and because I love the fiddle stylings of Vassar Clements. At first I was irked by some out-of-tune vocal harmonies (it's live, after all). But I kept the album on and set the CD player to continuous play. Well, the second time it started at the beginning, I was hooked. I listened a couple more times and had to force myself to turn it off. It is really a true gem of an album. Vassar's fiddling is top-notch, a great example of his classic licks and style. Garcia, Grisman and Rowan also rock. This is indeed a classic bluegrass album, and should be in any respectable collection.

This CD is great! If you are not a bluegrass fan, it will certainly make you one! Some of Jerry Garcia's finest work without his electric guitar. He sure picks a mean banjo!
More of the same,

This album contains more releases from the shows that Old And In The Way played in the fall of 1973. The playing is of the same high standard but is essentially more of the same - acoustic bluegrass. If you loved the original album you'll love this. If you are new to the band the original album is still my favourite but is currently very expensive so this is not a bad start.
