Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass
This album, the debut from Mark Kuykendall, Bobby Hicks & Asheville Bluegrass, epitomizes the hard-edged traditional bluegrass both men clearly absorbed as former members of Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys. There are 13 songs here, and the five originals from Kuykendall fit in perfectly and sound as good as the classics from Ernest Tubb (“I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye”), Charlie Monroe (“End of Memory Lane”), Hank Williams (“On the Evening Train”) and the Louvin Brothers (“Love and Wealth”).
