The New New Lost City Ramblers with Tracy Schwarz: Gone to the Country

The New Lost City Ramblers FW02491

Joined on this recording by fiddler Tracy Schwarz, this album explores new musical territory "at least ten years in either direction," including unaccompanied ballad singing and bluegrass. Of especial note is the variety of banjo styles represented, from drop thumb frailing to Ralph Stanley's style of early bluegrass three-finger picking.
