(Rebel SLP 1566) 1977
This is, perhaps, one of Curly Ray's more accessible albums, and certainly it has some inventive artwork by Fred Huffman.[1]
Recorded on 11th November 1976, it kicks off with Pikeville Jail, a track which was Curly often sang on stage with Ralph. Other vocal numbers include House Of David Blues, from the repertoire of Athur Smith, and Brown's Ferry Blues which could have been picked up from The Delmore Brothers.
The remaining cuts are all fiddle instrumentals.

[1] Fred Huffman was the 'house' artist for Rebel at the time and also did the artwork for Curly's Who's Gonna Mow My Grass LP. He also designed the commemorative Blue Grass Boys belt buckles, which Doug Hutchens arranged for Bill Monroe in 1987. (See Bob Black's book 'Come Hither To Go Yonder' (p. 136))
