Please rate this album:

This live CD-R isn't dated, but as it features a similiar line-up to What A Day That Will Be, it probably was recorded circa 2005.

As ususal, Sammy lets rip on a number of Stanley standards, except for The Boogie Song which is pretty much identical to Flatt & Scruggs' Foggy Mountain Special. The CD-R also has canned crowd noise, which as usual with overdubbing is too obviously over-enthusiastic and, to my ear at least, distracting.

The album I have is on CD-R, with inkjet printed inlay and tray. I'm not sure is there was an earlier CD run with printed inlay/tray.

  • Sammy Adkins: guitar, vocals
  • TJ "Buggs" Chaffin: lead guitar
