  • are these guys still together?

  • >> are these guys still together?

    Nope. They were only together briefly, unfortunately. The one album the produced (The Telluride Sessions) is definitely worth the purchase.

  • I just remember seeing two TV specials with these guys together, exceptional stuff and to me way ahead of anything else I was seeing done. Amazing - thanks for posting this and proving it wasn't just a dream...

  • Mark makes this TAK sing man !!!!!

  • man, I wish mark o'connor would've done more guitar work

  • Let me make sure I have it all lined up. You want me to throw this thing into the tub when Belas banjo solo in "Slopes" peaks. Is that it?

  • Jesus. This might be the best banjo solo ever recorded. Bela does inhuman things with his instrument that no one in the world can do.

  • @Airsasquacth Mark O'Connor would own Tony Rice on this song

  • What a shame that they were together for only a short period of time. Their one album is definitely a classic among albums. Everything on it is unique and can be listened to for hundreds of times without your tiring of them. A work of genius by the best that ever played each of the instruments. What a phenomenal album!

  • basically an allstar lineup of the best modern bluegrass musicians alive. Missing Tony Rice though

  • A staggering array of talent!

  • @ohkeepa321 He didn't play everything on Markology. He played nearly everything on Retrospective and Elysian Forest. Matter of fact, it's a complete wives tale that he ever put out an album in which he played everything. That has been an erroneous rumor for as long as I can remember. Untrue, nevertheless. The only thing he played on Markology was the guitar. Dan Crary, Tony Rice, David Grisman, & Sam Bush all played on Markology.
