This week on Mandolin Mondays the infamous Chris Henry brings us a South American melody played in 432 tuning on his Randy Wood F5 mandolin.
No one takes the rooted tradition of Bill Monroe to new frontiers quite like Chris Henry. Over the years, Chris has played with just about everyone in the bluegrass scene, including Audie Blaylock, Shawn Camp, Peter Rowan, and many more. He now tours worldwide, fronting his own bluegrass band Chris Henry and The Hardcore Grass.
His 2006 mandolin instrumental album Monroe Approved produced by Butch Baldassarri demonstrates his raw virtuosic traditional style with a unique forward tilt. Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/Monroe-Approv.../dp/B000IONO6U
