Muleskinner video

This is pretty good if you are a Muleskinner fan, or even if you are just a human. Clear your schedule for the next 25 minutes.

[Mike Bunting]

Mighty fine indeed!

[Grommet]

Good one OS!

What a lineup.... and what a lot of hair

Clarence was really doing some great stuff there, too. Just a few months later, he was gone.

A real gem.

[SternART]

And the seeds of Dawg music are in there. Young bucks showin' their stuff.
Bill Keith .......pretty amazing, Richard Greene's hot fiddlin' and Pete Rowan, three Bluegrass Boy alumni in that band!

[AlanN]

I like on Opus57 in Gm, after it's over, Pete waves the crowd on, like "C'mon folks, you just heard some good chit, give it up." And Dawg picks a strong New Camptown Races.

Yes, a real gem.

[John Duncan]

What a dynamic, well balanced band sound! Son! Dirty hippies all of em.

Love the mandolin Grisman is playing!

[Coy Wylie]

I love Muleskinner. Watched and listened many times. I only wish they would have featured Clarence's solo work a bit more.

Dang at that big yellow collar on Clarence. If I had that shirt, with a running start in a stiff breeze, I might be able to dunk a basketball!

Man, I love Rowan's singing, and he's got all the cool bass runs on rhythm. I always forget that Clarence was a pretty good singer too. He gives up some of his flatpick/fingerpick hybrid licks there.

That mando with the block inlay - that's not Crusher, is it?

Rowan is still doing it. I've seen him a couple of times lately. He was with the Travel'n McCoury's doing a full set of WSM music and it was very, very cool.

Clarence died 4 months after Muleskinner was filmed so this was very late in his career after all his time with the Byrds. He had incorporated more of his tele style into his flatpicking by then.

Funny this comes up now. I have had this CD playing in my truck for about 3 weeks straight. Mostly I am working on Opus 57 and trying to get some of the timing and nuances incorporated, but yeah, there are a lot of gems in this gig. Genuine golden stuff. Ironic that the event itself was a bit of an accident and Bill Monroe was supposed to be the headliner for the show, but he never made it. Lots of great trivia stories came out of this show.
Golden stuff indeed.

I was in an apartment in Pulaski, VA the day this first showed on PBS TV. It blew me away then and it still blows me away today. Those guys had it going on . They seemed to be so perfect together. Just the right blend of "newgrass" with a heavy dose of Monroe mixed in. CW's break on Footprints stands out for me. From this line-up you back up to find Earth Opera, Seatrain, Jim Keskwin Jug Band, Greenbriar Boys,The Byrds, White Bros. Band, Blue Velvet Band to hear more of their "outside the traditional rim" of their bluegrass upbringing.

[allenhopkins]

And don't forget Keith and Rooney; saw them a few times in '60's Cambridge.

Yeah Tom... that's my idea of "newgrass" too.
