Orange Blossom Special - Joe Meadows feat. Larry Sparks & the Lonesome Ramblers [1974]
Переглядів 1664 роки тому
Joe jumped on to the bluegrass stage and into infamy as an eighteen-year-old playing on the Stanley Brothers’ iconic version of Erwin Rouse’s Orange Blossom Special, which they recorded for Mercury Records. While it is hard to say anything could have improved upon that 1955 performance, it is equally hard to say his version on Old Homestead with Larry Sparks and the Lonesome Ramblers did not. T...

Charlie Moore - My Christmas Dream
Переглядів 4455 років тому
Merry Christmas from Old Homestead. Here's a classic holiday tune from the legendary Charlie Moore, "My Christmas Dream." Originally appearing as the b-side to Moore's "Wheeling" single OHS-5041, sometime in late 1976/early 1977. Moore's Christmas Dream was to be with his love, but he was left with just memories as he stared out the window.

David Davis & the Warrior River Boys - Bluegrass Twist (LIVE 1990)
Переглядів 3925 років тому
It is hard to think of any band that deserves success more than David Davis and the Warrior River Boys. We have been proud to know David for coming on thirty years. They came out of the neo-traditionalist movement of the 80s spearheaded by groups such as the Johnson Mountain Boys. Those who saw them back in the late 80s can testify that there was nobody like them and we continue to be so proud ...

"Gravel Road" is the first track and title track for The Charlie Sizemore Band's first album with Old Homestead's Rutabaga Records after leaving the Clinch Mountain Boys.

It was with great sadness that we learned news of Delia Bell's recent passing. We are so fortunate that she and Bill Grant graced us with their presence on Old Homestead, much less that they recorded nine wonderful albums for us and let us reissue five of their self-produced albums from the 70's. Delia Bell and Bill were such a joy to work with, and we loved having them at the Charlotte Bluegra...
One Step More (1972) - Clyde Moody
Переглядів 3035 років тому
We have been fortunate through the years to be able to record some country music legends. One of whom we are most proud, is Clyde Moody. His first album for us, Moody’s Blues (OHS90013) in 1972 has always been one of our favorite items in the Old Homestead catalog. We were able to show Clyde in many different ways and lights, both familiar and unfamiliar. No matter what setting you put him in, ...

    The Father of Bluegrass music, Bill Monroe. He was an incredible musician. I was fortunate to have seen him in 1981 &1982 at the KFC Bluegrass Music Festival in Louisville. I met him in Draffenville, KY. at the KY Opry in February 1993. Great memories hearing him play.

    Bill Monroe takes a full solo on Jerusalem Ridge!. You had to see a lot of shows to see him take solos on some tunes like this. Great video. (I remember being so excited when Monroe took a solo on Muleskinner once. Although the sound is not great here, you can hear some small accents here and there and phrase differences similar to the way the band played at the time (walk down chords a`la Southern Flavor). Also Robert Bowlin puts some blues notes in his solo.
