Review read.....
SID GRIFFIN'S 1980'S BAND THE LONG RYDERS WERE ALTERNATIVE COUNTRY'S FORGOTTEN PROGENITORS. TODAY GRIFFIN OFFERS INSTEAD A MILDER ELECTRIC BLUEGRASS WITH THE COAL PORTERS. DICK SMITH'S BREATHLESS BANJO PICKING AND CARLY FREY'S FLEET FIDDLE POWER THE STANDARDS; THE GUITARIST NEIL ROBERT HERD OFFERS THE WESTERN SWING - FLAVOURED 'THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE OIL'; AND GRIFFIN'S GULF WAR NARRATIVE, 'PERMANENT TWIGHLIGHT', SOUNDS LIKE SOME VINTAGE ANTI VIETNAM SONG BY A FORMER BYRD FLYING SOLO. THE BLUEGRASS LEGEND PETE ROWAN GUESTS ON HIS MOONLIGHT MIDNIGHT, THE ALBUMS HIGHLIGHT.

Stephen Still & Al Perkins

I would certainly recommend the new Stephen Stills CD 'Live at the Shepherds Bush' It is a glorious new release from the Legendary Guitarist that he clearly is! If nothing else show some support and buy it......and if you have'nt ever bought that double album 'Manassas' then go and buy that as well. That is an album that would accompany me to a desert Island! That Band could do anything. I had the honour of meeting Al Perkins on more than a few occasions and I love it when he talked about that Band! They could do anything....just listen to it and you will see what I mean.
