Many times these days, I hear people discussing what constitutes “bluegrass”. You’ll hear one person claim something is “bluegrass” because of this or another state just as boldly that it’s not “bluegrass” because of that. Well, I’ve never been one to shy away from a good argument, but I can say one thing beyond a shadow of doubt and in only a few words. This new project by Audie Blaylock and Redline is not only “bluegrass”… its GREAT bluegrass… no argument… end of discussion!!! I was blown away by the professionalism of Audie’s performance at IBMA Fanfest this past year and this album further confirms that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of bluegrass music for years to come.
