I've not yet found a copy of the original album... but it was reissued after Chubby died as Chubby Anthony & Big Timber - 'The Best Of Bluegrass: Big Timber Bluegrass' in 1980. See that entry for further details.

The bands name was taken from the Bill Monroe instrumental. I had thought that they later changed it to 'Big Timber' to avoid confusion with the Seatle area 'Tall Timber' band, but in a 'Bluegrass Unlimited' interview, Chubby says that Big Timber were formed in Feb 1978, so they're seperate outfits.

  • Chubby Anthony: fiddle, baritone vocal
  • Keil Brown: guitar, baritone vocal
  • Bill DeMarcus: banjo
  • Robert McDougal: mandolin, tenor vocal
  • Carl Young: lead guitar, lead vocal
  • Hazel Young: bass
