  • sounds awesome , very low tech. still very danceable . igive it a ten . all the technology currently available and they was makin better records back in 74. .

    video killed the radio star....

  • My friend,(a free correction)

    this music is a mishmash of styles the closest of which would be western swing. The instrumentation is typical of what a bluegrass band would use except of course the missing mando (which the father of bluegrass played). Lyrically it's more traceable to country music which is not mountain music. Flatpicking transcends genre and the inverntor of the G-run (THE guitar lick in bluegrass) played with a thumbpick.

  • @joshua9312 And Clements is playing a lot like Stephan Grapaldi

  • Wow!

  • The second guitarist is trying to play in the style of Django Reinhardt, Master of Gypsy Jazz and father of Jazz. I say great job to Dave. And Dickie of course.
