The great Tommy Jarrell’s music is beautifully documented in the 4-album “LEGACY OF TOMMY JARRELL” series (2724-2727) with his fiddle featured on CO-2724 , his great banjo work on CO-2726 and the other two CDs featuring him in the more typical string band setting. He also appears on BLUE RIDGE MT. HOLIDAY (CO-2722, edited by Paul Brown), and on the two marvelous albums with Fred Cockerham & Oscar Jenkins (“Cider Mill” and “Stay All Night”, CO-2734 & 2735 respectively). Fiddle music has always been a strong point with COUNTY, and there are no less than 15 such albums in the 2700 series, some of them considered among the best fiddle recordings ever issued. The great KENNY BAKER is beautifully represented with “Frost On The Pumpkin”, “A Baker’s Dozen” and his stunning twin fiddle disc with another of the finest Bluegrass fiddlers, Bobby Hicks (CO-2733, “Darkness On The Delta”). Baker’s tribute to Bill Monroe—with Monroe playing mandolin on every track—is one of the great Bluegrass fiddle albums, and saw the first recording of ROAD TO COLUMBUS (CO-2708). For a great all-around sampling of Baker’s work, try CO- 2705 “Master Fiddler”, which is drawn from the very best of Bakers 12 records for the County label. More great fiddle albums include three by the late ART STAMPER: “Lost Fiddler” (CO-2712) is half old-time and half Bluegrass (with J.D. Crowe on banjo)—the other 2 are pure old-time with many great old tunes. CO-2713 THE LEGEND OF CLARK KESSINGER is one of the all-time great fiddle albums by a true master of old-time fiddle.

  • Billy Bob Thornton Interview
    A Conversation with Billy Bob Thornton by Frank Goodman Puremusic 1/2002 I had known that Billy Bob was slated to star in the new Travis Tritt video, “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde.” Brother JB is our publisher, and he and my brother-in-law Gary Falcon manage Travis, so I’d been privy to the video developments. Everybody was up about it, it was obviously not going to be your average Country video. It doesn’t take much to get me to pack a suitcase and go almost anywhere, my gypsy ways never changed. So when it occurred to JB that flying me out to L.A. might land us a Puremusic interview with Billy Bob Thornton about his new record, I was basically in the air. I didn’t mind waiting for JB to turn up at LAX a couple of hours after me, I was engrossed in Ann Patchett’s The Magician’s Assistant, and having a big time. We got out to the high desert location, outside Palmdale. There’s an old abandoned little motel out there called The Four Aces, it’s used exclusively for videos and movies today. The desert’s funny like that. Something goes out of business, they just leave it there and walk away, let the elements have at it. I took some pictures of this old Spanish-style mortuary, I liked the sign that said “Open.” I really enjoyed the record, Private Radio. I know, we don’t usually cotton to records by actors. Visions of William Shatner singing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” or the shocking crooning of Jim Nabors comes to mind.

  • Bryan Sutton Reveals New Depth with Fourth Sugar Hill Release, Into My Own
    BRYAN SUTTON REVEALS NEW DEPTH WITH FOURTH SUGAR HILL RELEASE, INTO MY OWN Solo Record From Bluegrass Guitar Master Due April 29th Nashville, Tenn. (January 27, 2014) –Bryan Sutton returns to Sugar Hill Records with his fourth solo release, Into My Own, available April 29, 2014. “The goal,” Bryan Sutton says, “was to try to make a record that only I could make.” Indeed, even a cursory listen is enough to establish that Into My Own, his fourth album for Sugar Hill Records, fulfills that goal—and does so in a way that reflects not only the instrumental virtuosity that his admirers have come to expect, but also the spirit and sensibilities of a musician intent on challenging himself to continuously grow in every way. For those who think of him as just one of the best acoustic guitarists around, Into My Own will come as an unexpected revelation, while for those who’ve been following his evolution at least since 2009’s Almost Live, it deserves welcome as the culmination of a remarkable musical growth spurt—rich, varied, and, just as he says, a record that only he could make. For what Into My Own does for the first time is present Bryan Sutton, not so much on his own (though there’s a bit of that too), but as an artist who’s worked his way into a musical place that’s all his own, and not just as a phenomenal guitarist, but as a singer and songwriter. Featured alongside Bryan Sutton are some of the best pickers in the genre, also true friends and collaborators; Bill Frisell joins in for “Frissell’s Rag” while Noam Pikelny, Sam Bush, Ronnie McCoury, Stuart Duncan and more stop in to play a few.
