Hide Head Blues

Hide Head Blues

0 - Default Title
Description
Jim Mills tackles a number of his favorite songs on four vintage banjos from his personal collection, all of them pre-war (late-30s/early-40s) flathead five-string Gibson Mastertones. This bluegrass banjo master (IBMA Banjo Player of the Year 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003) delivers another perfect bluegrass album. Mining a similar aesthetic that garnered him the IBMA Instrumental Album of the Year award in 1999 for his debut solo recording, Mills displays his esteemed banjo picking and even, on one tune, his mastery of Merle Travis/thumb-style guitar picking. Joined by many of the genre's best instrumentalists and vocalists, the results will give listeners anything but the Hide Head Blues. The disc is a loving tour de force that, like its predecessors, finds Mills tackling under recorded gems from bluegrass masters, pre-bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes, and a pair of classics from country legend Merle Haggard. Sugar Hill. 2005.
