This is so great. I would love to put together a band like this and play folk, blues, bluegrass and country music. Norman Blake is so inspiring to me.
If that's sloppy I shall pray every night to become as sloppy as all hell.
It's masterful from the arrangement through the execution. His right hand is a model of flexibility and economy of movement. It doesn't get better than Norman Blake when it comes to flatpicking IMO.
With regards to slop, this is anything but. This is pure. It has soul. This is what it's supposed to sound like...before modern, clean, sterilized, anti-septic picking became "desirable." Just take one listen to Nashville Blues from the same set and tell me that isn't the most amazing flatpicking you've ever heard!
