She didn't get to come back. It is a great festival. Last year 2008 Dale Ann Bradley was just into her set when there was a Tornado warning and we all had to head for cover Hazel was suppose to be there last year but didn't make it. because of health reasons. Unfortunately I'm gonna miss it this year and the line up is awesome as it always is. Jon,

I had seen a picture of the Bugs Bunny guitar some time ago and I'm sure it's nice sounding, but I sure wouldn't want to be in the audience having to look at that thing all concert long should someone actually want to play it onstage! ;-) Leeann, I'm really, really fond of <i>Iron & Diamonds</i>; it still gets a fair amount of spins on the old iPod. But their past few albums <i>Red Letter Day</i>, <i>Bona Fide</i> and <i>Long Way Back Home</i> are all really excellent bluegrass records as well. And this one is growing on me, too...so much for my helpful album purchasing advice! Rick, thanks for the JTE review...and the scoop on the upcoming Prine tribute album. Sounds like it'll be a good listen. Jon, thanks for the info on Rick Hayes.

I just checked them out on Emusic and love their harmonies. So, if I were to get one album for now, would you actually suggest the one prior to this one? That's what I'm gathering from this review.

That was a night I'll never forget :D Hey Jon,

Long story, but prior to going to work for Eric and Leigh, he (among other things) made elecric guitars incorporating licensed Warner Brothers cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny.

They should bring you on board over at the Bluegrass Blog where the average reader would really be into your bluegrass reviews! Since you're a Justin Townes Earle fan, I'm gonna go off topic here and give a brief description of JTE's concert here in LA last night. Although the show at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica did not sell out in advance (it holds about 200), it did wind up selling out. I am not familiar with JTE's music but was thoroughly entertained with his excellent guitar picking and on pitch plaintive vocal style (and his movements around the mic as well). For just a guy with an acoustic guitar he puts out a whole lot of good music! JTE has truly mastered many historical forms of country music, from hillbilly to folk to honky tonk, but it was his more modern folky style material I found the most enjoyable. This included two brand new compositions titled "Last Night In Brooklyn" and "I'm Learning To Cry" which were fantastic songs. JTE also sang the title cut of his recent album and claimed it was the first time he has performed it during this current tour! JTE's encore included a wonderful cover of the John Prine song "Far From Me" which JTE recently recorded for a John Prine tribute style album (which will include Old Crow Medicine Show as well as many other artists). JTE is a consummate entertainer and storyteller and anyone who likes more traditional and mellow acoustic styles of country music should make the effort to see him if he comes your way. The upcoming show in Nashville where he will open for Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson should be a killer! Nice review Juli.
