Please rate this album:

This is the second of three compilations largely taken from the three King Bluegrass albums, which Larry recorded circa 1975-6.

Sound quality is excellent, and comes highly recommended if you don't already have Footsteps Of Tradition, Sparklin' Bluegrass and You Could Have Called.

Six of the tracks were later included on the compilation CD Classic Bluegrass (A Face In The Crowd, Just Lovin' You, Smokey Mountain Memories, You Could Have Called, Blue Love and Waltz Of The Wind); and four on the compilation CD The Best Of... Bound To Ride (A Face In The Crowd, Smokey Mountain Memories, You Could Have Called and Just Lovin' You).
