A Gospel Bluegrass Companion

I highly recommend this just released work by the High Bar Gang: seven highly talented individuals in their own right working in perfect ensemble – all egos left at the door. The three female voices all very strong and the musicianship subtle (special shout-out to the bassist who clearly was the glue). Hearing the HBG live virtually pitch perfect with the actual recording is a very rare phenomenon. The recording really does live up the tagline: a genuinely classic companion to gospel bluegrass. Hopefully, this is the first of several disks mining this rich tradition of songs.
