Rated 6/10
Catchy enough "classic" country music without being stellar.
Rated 8/10
I'll be honest to say that I really wasn't looking forward to listening a whole 2 hours to something classed as a 'country' album. There are few things that appeal less to me in this life.
Luckily when the bluegrassy Nashville Blues started I was relieved there would be more to this album.
2 hours is still too long, so I listened to the album in steps.
In the end, I feel like I've been listening to a great collection of vintage country and bluegrass, where the old school seniors of the genre like Roy Acuff and Doc Watson play together with the bearded hippies of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
And I didn't mind it at all.
Rated 8/10
It may be just stolkholm syndrome, but I loved it. If it weren't for the Confederate flag on the cover I could see myself putting it on! Loved the feel of being in the studio with them like a really intimate concert. Love the bass, love the banjo, love the fiddle. Top marks minus one for the hate symbol
Rated 6/10
Made it through. Nothing bad about it particularly but it's sooooooo long. Pick any random tracks from this to make a 45 minute playlist and you'll have a far better experience
Rated 10/10
Really good versions of really old songs. Reading the story behind it was cool too - a kind of hands across the generational divide type of project. Was cool to hear songs that some of my favourite acts (Johnny Cash, Elvis etc) would have listened to growing up.
Surprised how many of the songs I knew - there's even one that Jeff Buckley recorded!
Rated 4/10
Two hours of Bluegrass was a bit too much.
Rated 10/10
Holy Moly this is basically 2 albums. I love Nashville Blues. Tennessee Stud is another great song. Nine Pound Hammer, Tennessee Stud, Black Mountain Rag all kick ass. Though just the length of this double album is a workout; 2 hours is a lot of fecking bluegrass.
