WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Grateful Dub was fun! Forwarded to a couple key people. I'm not used to hearing effects on acoustic guitars but that actually works well here.

I hadn't heard this before.


Mark Knopfler and James Taylor - Sailing to Philadelphia

I had, but had forgotten about it. Both those guys have done some interesting collaborations.

From Bela Fleck's tour behind My Bluegrass Heart;  In these 2 numbers I recognize Mark Shatz & Edgar Meyer on bass, Bela (and someone I can't place) on banjo, Sierra Hull & Sam Bush on mandolin, Jerry Douglas (and someone I can't place) on Dobro, Molly Tuttle & Billy Strings on guitar, and Michael Cleveland &  Stuart Duncan on fiddle:  In short, nothing but 'grass royalty:   

[edit] Another guitar player popped up right at the end; didn't know him, either.

Destiny Quartet covering Bizet:

The extra banjo player is Tony Trishka.

The mystery dobro player is Sierra's husband, Justin Moses. He's a mult-instrumentalist, plays every instrument up there quite competently, so Bèla has him jump around some on the shows he's been part of.

The other guitarist is Bryan Sutton. Probably the most sought-after studio guy for acoustic guitar tracks in Nashville these days. If Billy puts butts in seats, Bryan is the first-call guy for the records. A-lister... Hot Rize. Etc.

On the subject of mystery band members... the song is kind of a deep-cut. I don't remember Alison Krauss & Union Station ever performing this anywhere else or any other time. It's from the movie soundtrack for "Twister", and it's from about the time that was happening. (best I remember...)

Larry Atamanik: Drums
Viktor Krauss: upright bass
Pat Bergeson: lead guitar

Barry Bales is still here, just on bass guitar.
Adam Steffey on mandolin.
Dan Tyminski is on rhythm electric guitar, and high harmony.
Ron Block is playing a resonator guitar for the main signature of the song.
Larry went on to be a regular touring member of Union Station.
Viktor is Al's brother of course, but also co-wrote the song.
Pat and Alison were married for a while, though not here.
Viktor, Pat and Alison are all three listed as having played with Lyle Lovett's Large Band. (now there's a list...)

Thanks.  I'd never heard of Justin; the other I know of - but obviously not by sight.....

Peter (who will add that every one of them can pick like crazy!)

An interesting take on "Amazing Grace"......

[edwardofhuncote]

Here's a track from My Bluegrass Heart, featuring Justin in a banjo duet with Bèla, Bryan Sutton on guitar.

Here's one a couple years ago when they got to play the Opry together. Justin played guitar and mandolin that night. They're presumably just warming up here.

The first time I was ever aware of Justin he was playing fiddle. Crazy skills. Very good singer as well, but you can't get three words out of him.

I saw Mavis Staples last night here in Tokyo with this band line up. Greg was playing a Danelectro with flatwounds.

Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters: 

Peter (who knew he was posting this one as soon as he saw the band name....)

[pauldo]

Honeycutters are really good, I enjoyed that.

[edwardofhuncote]

I was curious of course, so I looked. They got the name from a tow truck company in Western North Carolina... our family name is quite commonplace out there, and virtually unheard-of here. Particularly that spelling, which is usually how we know how directly related someone may be. See, you have to imagine one of our British friends here pronounce 'Huncote'... that's what it sounds like phonetically if you're from there, just say it quicker than we do here. Hun-uh-kut. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue if you're naming a band though. 

My cousin Andy Ferrell is also from Asheville, N.C. played a set for that same program a while back. I bet he knows those folks. I'll have to ask him.

[David Houck]

Amanda Anne Platt played at a Hurricane Helene benefit a few nights ago here in Asheville that a friend of ours organized.

[Quasar1]

In the event any of you fine gents have posted her in the past, sorry I missed it

Been binge watching this band recently. Up to 5 hours between Friday night and the one i'm watching now. Really good players. Loving the bass playing and the tone he uses.
