NOT THE SCOT

I LOVE NORMAN BLAKE.

In the 9 years since I started this thread, I think Blackberry Blossom has become my favorite record. But there's one thing about it -- which is that the opening track is "Are You From Dixie?" Now... as the opening track, it's easy af to skip it and just play the rest of the record. Which is what I've been doing for years. And I always tell people about how great the record is, but I don't think I ever remember to tell people they gotta skip the first track.

This is real nice

I've been on a huge flatpicker kick lately and listening to a lot of Norman and Tony Rice and Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings and a young guy named Jake Eddy who I think is incredible. Kind of not sure what thread to talk about it in.
