I met Tom Paxton in 1967 in Boulder at a record store. One of the nicest performers I've everhad the pleasure of meeting.
He's being given the "Bluegrass Treatment in a new album featuring a host of Bluegrass celebrities.
This is one of my Favorites, Claire Lynch doing I Give You the Morning.
Backing on most of these selections comes from an equally all-star group: guitarist Jones; Steve Martin Prize and frequent IBMA Banjo Player of the Year Kristin Scott Benson; Mountain Home’s Darren Nicholson (mandolin); Sister Sadie founder and 2020 IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year Deanie Richardson; and bassist Nelson Williams (Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Jake Blount, New Dangerfield). Like harmony singers Travis Book (The Infamous Stringdusters) and Wendy Hickman, they’re always supportive, yet ready to take the spotlight with inspired solos that yield wordless, yet unmistakable interpretations of each song.
