Cinderella is Rolf’s favorite studio in Nashville where the legendary Area Code 615 and Barefoot Jerry albums were recorded. Rolf played the banjo he got from Bobby Thompson and recorded in the same sound booth and with the same micro- phone Bobby used when he recorded with Area Code 615. Beate played Bobby Thompson’s guitar during the sessions. The new CD contains original songs and instrumentals along with songs written by Texas songwriters. It’s a mix of Americana and Bluegrass. Helping out on the new CD were some of Nashville’s greatest stu- dio musicians, Tony Rice - guitar, Stuart Duncan - ! ddle & mando- lin, - bass, - drums & percussion and John Moss - engineer, along with superb Austin musicians Alex Rueb - mandolin and Eric Hokkanen - ! ddle. available for $15 plus shipping get your copy at Waterloo Records in Austin CTBA Membership Invitation
