Album Notes

A companion volume to Bob Webb's popular CD Full Circle: The Solo Banjo Sessions, Red-Devil Speedway includes both banjo and guitar music played and sung by this four-decades veteran of the international folk scene. The tracks include a variety of Americana, from Appalachian Mountain ballads played in clawhammer style on the five-string banjo, to sturdy guitar pieces that reflect on the legacy of our musical heroes, like Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, Frank Proffitt and Jimmie Rodgers. If you like the music from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou?, you will probably enjoy Bob's take on authentic material from the American songbag.
