Clarence White and the Kentucky Colonels Live in Sweden 1973

[eddiejanzer]

I bid on this album on ebay about 12 years ago. Another bidder from the UK got it, recorded it to mp3 and sent me the album. It is a fantastic album. I heard that they played on The Andy Griffith Show long ago live, occasionally

The worst thing that ever happened to Clarence is he never got to grow old like Bill Monroe. He made me love bluegrass when nobody I knew did. I hope he has a magnificent headstone shaped like a guitar.

The worst thing that ever happened to Clarence is that he became famous.

Discovered this guy after he was already gone--my loss. I heard he got hit by some damn car out in Calif. while packing instruments in a car trunk. Anyway, I never heard anybody who could flatpick any better.

[SteveGaines]

Still got it!

[krispyklink]

Wow - Clarence was awesome - what a great style!

[bigmamasky]

Despite the picture, I understand that Clarence's style generaly included a shirt, as well as a flatpick and guitar. The final 2 being particularly integral to his sound. I also hear that he had a small, foetal sort of appendage growing from the middle of his back that he would use to scratch his ass while playing. Apparently being able to relieve himself from this potent distraction freed his playing in many ways.

@bigmamasky Were you ignored as a child?

[AnnaGolly]

@bigmamasky What's your point, Stupid?

[tunderbomber]

He and Hillman turned me to bluegrass.and eventually to playing the mandolin. Thank you guys!

[longlivejerryg]

Clarence was one of the best guitarists ever!

[dickass1234]

Did Grisman ever play with the colonels?

[AnnaGolly]

@dickass1234 no, but he did play with Clarence White - see Muleskinner Live and Muleskinner-A Potpourri of Bluegrass Jam...

According to Roland, (Clarence's older brother, and mandolin virtuoso,) this album will be remastered and re-released on cd soon, hopefully within the year.

Great news! Clarence was one of the best guitarists of all time, and the Kentucky Colonels made some of the best music of the 20th century.
