Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revisiting the concept of their legendary 1972 release, the band facilitates a massive, multi-generational summit of country and bluegrass titans. This acclaimed volume beautifully bridges the gap between the original pioneers of acoustic roots music and the neo-traditionalist artists of the era.
