Description:

Liner Note Authors: Gary B. Reid; Hal Neely.
Recording information: King Studios, Cincinnati, OH (10/26/1959-04/09/1963).
Picking up where 1994`s Early Years 1951-1959 left off, Reno & Smiley: 1959-1963 collects 102 tracks over the span of four discs, including bluegrass standards like "Double Eagle," "Dill Pickle Rag," and "Love, Please Come Home," as well as gospel classics such as "River of Jordan," "Rock of Ages," and "The Old Rugged Cross." Once again, the songs are arranged in chronological order, and extensive annotated liner notes accompany each cut, allowing readers and listeners to immerse themselves in the history/mythology of the tunes, as well as providing the names of session accompanists, recording dates, and original album/single data. This box represents the completion of a legitimate historical document, one that all bluegrass enthusiasts should have proudly displayed on the mantles above their fireplaces. ~ James Christopher Monger
