Saturday, August 16, 2008. Norman Blake - Live at McCabe's (1976). This intimate, laid-back live album from the mid 1970s documents Norman’s first West Coast appearance and captures this great artist in his prime. There is some astounding unaccompanied flatpicking on. As well as some pretty cello playing from Nancy Blake with Norman accompanying her on fiddle or guitar, depending on the track.

Flat Happy: Tony Rice - California Autumn (1975)
http://flathappy.blogspot.com/2008/08/california-autumn-is-bit-of-sleeper-in.html
Saturday, August 16, 2008. Tony Rice - California Autumn (1975). The guitar playing on. Is as solid as you would expect, though. Sounds like Tony sitting in with the Seldom Scene and the overall feel is softer and less jazz-oriented than a session with Bush, Douglas and/or David Grisman would have been. Regardless of the fact that Tony achieved greater heights a few years later,. Is an enjoyable listen and is well worth owning. AMG Rating: * *. My Rating: * *1/2. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This album has a slightly country feel to it, with the inclusion of drums on several tracks and the somewhat slick (by bluegrass standards) production. Both albums also feature a considerable amount of lead guitar playing. Over all, I think this relatively short-lived change in lineup was a decent thing for the band, as. Has more adrenaline and basically sounds fresher than. AMG Rating: * *. My Rating: * *.
