Album Notes

HERE'S THE LATEST FROM BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED ABOUT OUR PROJECT. VARIOUS ARTISTS — BANJO GATHERING — [December 2007 Issue]
No Label, No Number

Banjo Gathering is exactly what it claims to be: "100% pure old-time banjo, unobscured, unaccompanied & unadulterated." This two-disc set contains a whopping fifty selections played by an assortment of old-time banjo pickers including Mike Seeger, John Cohen, Cathy Fink, Bruce Molsky, and many others. It would be impossibile to mention all the noteworthy performances featured herein. However, they include plenty of both well-known and less familiar pieces like "Arkansas Traveler," "Miss McLeod's Reel," "Fish On A Hook," "Mole In The Ground," "French Waltz," and many others. "Banjo Gathering" is a momentous undertaking and a must addition to any serious collection of old-time music. (Steve Baughman, 111 Pine St., Ste. 1350, San Francisco, CA 94111,

REVIEWS

Banjo Magnificat.
author: Yann, France.
This double CD compilation is a masterpiece, essential to any traditional American music aficionado. Wonderful tunes and arrangements played in various styles and tunings by skillful and experienced instrumentalists on different types of banjos. These musical gems are of the highest interest to the connoisseur, though they might seem somewhat esoteric and repetitive to uninitiated ears. The CD leaflet provides detailed information on each participant (musical background, instruments...) and on each tune (source, style, banjo tuning...) To conclude this review, I would like to congratulate and thank all the persons who contributed to this very well-crafted compilation, BRAVO! ENCORE! Please Mr. Executive Producer, what about a second opus? Thanks to CD Baby for the great service.

This is the album of the year for me. The choice of players, the selections they chose to play, the outstanding production work of Steve Baughman and Derek Bianchi pull the whole album together in the finest banjo compilation ever created. I am so happy to listen to these tunes everyday. Thank you for making it happen! 10 stars to this double CD!
