Red Allen
The second of two great Rebel reissues of one the greatest bluegrass musicians of the 1950s, Lonesome & Blue features two County LPs produced by David Grisman. Allen was great in picking his material, turning country songs like the Louvins’ “My Baby’s Gone” and Kitty Wells’ “Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On” and “There Must Be Another Way to Live” into cutting edge, dynamic bluegrass.
