 Not the best bluegrass
Submitted on: 2009-10-19 |
|
| The instrumentation on this album is generally good and Clark and Buck Trent are two of the best but the harmonies are disappointing. It just isn't the "high and tight" that is typical of better bluegrass. If you want to add another side of Roy Clark to your collection this is fine but if you're looking for quality bluegrass take a pass. |

 Downhome stringband music with Roy & Family
Submitted on: 2005-12-12 |
|
Much like his "Hee Haw" co-host Buck Owens, Roy Clark's legendary talents as a string player -- particularly his guitar and banjo playing -- are often overshadowed by his television fame. His 1969 crossover hit "Yesterday When I Was Young" obscured his country roots every further. But Clark's musical roots stretch back both to his own rural Virginia childhood, and to his father's familial Meherrin String Band. These mid-70s sessions for ABC/Dot include several tracks inspired by an Opry appearance Clark made with his father and uncles. Originally released on "Roy Clark's Family Album" and "Roy Clark Family & Friends," they capture rousing string-band renditions of songs that had been in the Clarks' songbooks for decades. Additional tracks (taken from the "Banjo Bandits" "Entertainer" and "A Pair of Fives (Banjos That is)" LPs) pit Clark's banjo skills against those of Buck Trent.
Clark's in fine form here, battling with Trent on banjo classics like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "Earl's Breakdown," and hot-picking his guitar for "John Hardy." With Clark's father Hester on guitar and banjo, his uncles Paul on fiddle and Dudley on mandolin, and his cousin Kenneth on bass, the quintet makes a run through several standards of the younger Clark's childhood. Earl Scruggs' instrumental "Lonesome Road Blues" shows the group to have several fine backporch pickers, and elsewhere Clark's vocals show a homespun country side that didn't always surface on his more polished hit singles. This is a great disc for Clark fans, as well as anyone who doesn't know the talented multi-instrumentalist from the corn-pone TV comedian. 3-3/4 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
