on the choruses peter adds tenor harmony above, and jerry a baritone part below. david recorded it in 1988 as the title cut of his all-star bluegrass double album., down where the river bends. this love song was written during world war ii by jim anglin for his brother jack, of the country duo johnny and jack, who never recorded it but performed it. they sold it to grand old opry star roy acuff, who passed it on to the bailes brothers. their columbia recording was never released, but through their performances yet another, the bailey brothers, added it to their repertoire. when red allen teamed up with the osborne brothers in the '50s, they too sang the song (the osbornes had worked with charlie bailey of the bailey brothers in 1955). it wasn't issued on record until 1965, when both allen and the country gentlemen included it on albums. peter sings the verses; on the choruses he moves to tenor, david sings lead and jerry renders the baritone. the fancy trio ending is influenced by red allen, with whom david worked in the mid-'60s. red sang it with david and herb pederson on bluegrass reunion (acoustic disc acd-4), his last recording., on and on. bill monroe wrote this song and recorded it as a trio in 1954; it was released as a single in 1956. this was one of the only vocal trios that monroe regularly featured in concert. according to monroe's biographer, ralph rinzler, it's text is autobiographical. for musicians like jerry, david and peter, who discovered bluegrass in the '60s and heard monroe's frequent performances of it, this song was a vehicle for learning how to sing bluegrass trios. jerry sings lead, david the baritone and peter the tenor. in 1975 david recorded a version of this song on his first album., the hobo song. this infectious tune was penned by jack bonus, a singer-songwriter who played sax with earth opera, the rock band that david and peter formed in 1967. another rendition can be heard on old and in the way. peter sings the verses, switching to tenor on the chorus while jerry sings lead below and david sings high baritone above., old and in the way breakdown. jerry wrote the modal tune on the banjo; with it's 1-7-1 chord progression, a favorite with bluegrass composers, it resembles the venerable traditional fiddle tune "paddy on the turnpike." indeed, vassar's and david's solos both quote phrases from that old-time standard. this performance closes with a tight duet between banjo and mandolin., 'til the end of the world rolls 'round. recorded and released in 1954 as a single by lester flatt, earl scruggs and the foggy mountain boys, this is another one of david's favorite bluegrass tongue-twisters. he included it on his rounder album in 1975; the flatt and scruggs version didn't appear on lp until 1977. david sings lead and peter sings tenor., panama red. peter rowan's classic became the title song for an album by the new riders of the purple sage. this group was an early vehicle for jerry's pedal steel playing and was fronted by his old black mountain boys partner david nelson. an alternate version of this song about being high but not lonesome appeared on the first old and in the way album. peter leads the verses; on the choruses he sings tenor harmony above david's lead., you'll find her name written there. charlie monroe, bill's older brother and partner in the monroe brothers (1934-1938), first recorded this haunting melody on rca victor in 1951. bill's 1954 decca recording, released as a single in 1957, didn't appear on lp until 1971 but was quite familiar to bluegrass audiences. old and in the way's unusual trio (peter, lead; jerry, baritone; david, tenor) recalls the twin fiddle harmonies of bill's version, and duplicates his modulation on the third verse. this arrangement was worked up spontaneously and performed only once. david recorded it instrumentally on his first album in 1975., kissimee kid. vassar's fiddle masterpiece, named after his home place in florida, appears in another version on old and in the way. according to vassar, both jerry and david influenced this arrangement which differs from the one he played with dickey betts of the allman brothers band at around the same time., goin' to the races. carter stanley of the stanley brothers wrote these words to the tune of "let her go, god bless her," recorded in the late '30s by mainer's mountaineers. the stanleys never recorded it in the studio. in 1957 carter stanley 'gave' the song to the newly-formed country gentlemen, who released it on their first single. in february, 1973, peter and david, with richard greene, clarence white and bill keith, played the song on a tv special. later that year this bluegrass supergroup recorded an album, muleskinner, with john on bass. the vocal parts are the same as on down where the river bends., midnight moonlight. one of peter's most requested songs, this alternate take is more like rock than bluegrass in the way it's first two verses and choruses are not separated by instrumental breaks, but are followed by an extended jam in which banjo, fiddle, mandolin and then banjo improvise on a two-chord structure. the vocal arrangement is similar to you'll find her name written there. peter also recorded this song with his brothers chris and lorin and on a flying fish album, and jerry often performed it with john in the jerry garcia band., working on a building. bill monroe recorded this gospel song, with origins in african american spiritual traditions, for decca in 1954 on the same day he cut on and on. he credited to the carter family, who first recorded it in 1934. old and in the way's version is similar to monroe's but the words to the third verse, "if i was a dealer...," are unique to them. david sings the high lead on the verses and moves up to tenor harmony on the quartet choruses, where peter joins on lead, jerry on baritone and vassar sings bass., muleskinner blues. in 1939 bill monroe refashioned jimmie rodgers' popular "'blue yodel" of a decade earlier into his definitive statement of bluegrass as modern old-time music: "it's speeded up, and we moved it up to fit the fiddle and we have that straight time to it, driving time." it was bill's first hit on the grand old opry, and he recorded it several times, including the classic 1950 decca version with a young vassar clements playing fiddle. peter also sang it with muleskinner. here vassar's fiddle shines, both in breaks and backup; and david takes a mandolin break, something monroe didn't usually do on this song., pig in a pen. composed by grand old opry fiddler arthur smith, who recorded it with the delmore brothers in 1937, this song quickly became a favorite with old-time musicians, garnering added verses from the old mountain lyric song traditions. this version by old and in the way (another version can be found on their first album) owes much to the stanley brothers' early '60s recording. jerry sings the same verses as carter stanly, which are different from those sung by smith. the trio parts are the same as those on the hobo song., drifting to far from the shore. charles e. moody, the georgia composer who was also a member of a frequently recorded string band of the '20s, the georgia yellow hammers, wrote this in 1923. it was published in a popular stamps-baxter's gospel songbook which is probably where the monroe brothers learned it. they recorded it at their first session for bluebird in 1936, and it was popular enough for roy acuff to do a cover recording in 1939. it was given renewed popularity in bluegrass when the country gentlemen included it on their first folkways album in 1960. the vocal parts are the same as on you'll find her name written there., jerry's breakdown. this banjo tune, written by jerry for the band, is heard here for the first time. it's distinct three parts, with varied chord changes, are influenced by the quot;melodic" banjo style of bill keith, who revolutionized bluegrass banjo picking with the instrumentals salt creek, santa claus and sailor's hornpipe that he recorded with bill monroe in 1963. keith was also a pickin' partner of both peter's and david's and worked with them in muleskinner., wild horses. this rolling stones composition from sticky fingers was included on the first old and in the way album and, from there, has joined a number of other rock originals (like manfred mann's fox on the run and the grateful dead's friend of the devil) in the communal bluegrass repertoire. the vocal parts are the same as those on drifting to far from the shore., blue mule. peter's down-home fantasy with tall-tale imagery is a new legend built on an old one - bill monroe's molly and tenbrooks. the kentucky ballad is about a horse race that took place on july 4, 1878 at louisville between the kentucky thoroughbred ten broeck and the california-owned miss mollie mccarthy. in this song both horses are defeated by peter's out-of-sight blue mule. it also appears on the muleskinner project. the vocal parts are, appropriately, the same as those on wild horses., neil v. rosenberg, memorial university of newfoundland, st. john's, newfoundland, september 14, 1997, related releases, home is where the heart is and pig in a pen were included on the acoustic disc sampler;, acoustic disc 100% handmade music, vol. 4, various artists, 1998, acoustic disc acd 32, the introduction and pig in a pen were subsequently included on;, grateful dawg soundtrack, jerry garcia / david grisman / various artists, 2001, acoustic disc acd 46, drifting too far from the shore was included on the acoustic disc sampler;, acoustic disc 100% handmade bluegrass, various artists, 2004 | $ | A |

on the trio choruses he moves to the high tenor harmony part, grisman takes the melody, and garcia sings the baritone part beneath the lead. the band doubles the break to let vassar's amazing fiddle take a turn every time. jerry's banjo break shows his mastery of the then new chromatic or melodic style that bill keith pioneered., the great pretender. the platters' buck ram penned this rock and roll classic as a follow-up to his only you. it hit billboard's top 10 in january, 1956, made #1 in february, and stayed in the charts for four months. old and in the way's arrangement is a statement on the band's bluegrass-rock connections. the mid-song tempo change recalls bill monroe's remake of his own blue moon of kentucky, originally a waltz, which he recut with a similar tempo shift to cover elvis's hit version. they sing it as a classic bluegrass trio with peter singing lead, david doing a tenor part above him, and jerry taking the baritone part below., lost. louisiana born mandolinist buzz busby heated up bluegrass around the washington d. c. area in the early 1950s. in 1955 he recorded this bluegrass honky-tonk classic with a hot band that included bluegrass greats scotty stoneman on fiddle, don stover on banjo and charlie waller on guitar. it was released as a single for the obscure jiffy label and later reissued on a rebel mail order special album. old and in the way's arrangement resembles busby's but adds a vocal trio and fiery instrumental breaks in the spirit of the original. john kahn really cooks on the bass here, too., catfish john. written by bob mcdill and alan reynolds, this was a hit for country singer johnny russell in late 1972 and early 1973. bluegrass singers took to it - the country gentlemen, one of the most popular bands at the time, included it on their first vanguard album that year, for example. jerry sings lead on this one, and his banjo backup work behind his own vocals can be heard clearly. on the choruses peter songs tenor above him, and vassar adds a high baritone part above that - a trio style often associated with the stanley brothers., that high lonesome sound. peter rowan's song about bluegrass festivals is one he still performs today. he included it on new moon rising, his 1988 album with the nashville bluegrass band. on the third verse vassar clements responds brilliantly to the request to "plays us a little jam," and peter recalls a story bill monroe had told him about his uncle pendelton vandiver - "uncle pen" - playing fiddle on the back of a mule. at the end of the song vassar closes with a quote from monroe's song about his uncle. david and jerry join in on the chorus in a vocal trio similar to that on the previous cut., lonesome fiddle blues. vassar first recorded this original composition in 1971 with the nitty gritty dirt band on the will the circle be unbroken album. it quickly became a bluegrass favorite; sam bush played it on the newgrass revivals first album, for starday, in 1972. it showcases vassar's distinctive stylings - the slides, the ascending four-note phrases, the syncopated chords, and more - and also gives jerry and david an opportunity to cut loose on the banjo and mandolin solos., love please come home. leon jackson's classic from an obscure king single in the late 1950s was a bluegrass hit for don reno and red smiley, also on a king single as well as an album in 1961. it's catchy 1-7-4 chord changes at the end of the first line, which built on popular traditional appalachian tunes and songs with similar changes like paddy on the tunpike and little maggie, helped make it a popular song at bluegrass jams. it's been recorded by many bands, including bill monroe's. peter sings lead on the verses, then takes the high tenor on the chorus while jerry sings the lead and david provides the baritone part., wicked path of sin. bill monroe's blue grass quartet recorded this self penned hymn in september, 1946. old and in the way put together a vocal quartet for their version that follows monroe's arrangement pretty closely, with peter on lead, david on tenor, jerry on baritone, and vassar singing bass. david's mandolin breaks preserve the spirit of monroe's mandolin breaks on gospel songs - short and hot., uncle pen. bill monroe's classic reminiscence about his fiddling uncle, first recorded in 1950, remains one of his most popular numbers; ricky skaggs had a hit with it in the 1980s. you can pretty much count on hearing it at a monroe show, so for a band like old and in the way, with two former blue grass boys on fiddle and guitar, this one is a natural. their version opens with peter playing the guitar run that's pivotal in the arrangement (coming right after the "you could hear it talk, you could hear it sing" a cappella section in the chorus), and vassar somehow manages to stick to the frame of onroe's original fiddle arrangement while adding all sorts of new ideas - a real tour de force. the trio on the chorus is arranged like those of the the great pretender and high lonesome sound., i'm on my way back to the old home. in february, 1950, vassar played on the original recording of this song bill monroe wrote about his home outside rosine, kentucky. david takes the lead, peter adds tenor and jerry sings baritone in the vocal trio on the chorus., lonesome l.a. cowboy. peter rowan's song about the l.a. scene of the early 1970s is done here in a trio that puts his lead vocals on top of the harmony parts by david (baritone) and jerry (low tenor, below the baritone) - a trio structure introduced into bluegrass music by the osborne brothers and red allen., i ain't broke but i'm badly bent. this is one that edd mayfield, who was bill monroe's guitarist and lead singer, sang at a show at the brown county jamboree, where he introduced it as "one of red taylor's numbers" (taylor had been a fiddler with monroe. that spetember 4, 1954 performance was recorded by marvin hedrick, a local bluegrass fan and old-time musician who used the the-new recorder technology to tape bluegrass shows and radio broadcast. copies of this tape (and this song) went into underground circulation in the early 1960s after jerry, sandy and i had made copies of it. when david recorded his first album in 1975, he taught the tune to ricky skaggs, who sang it on the session and later on one of his own albums. here peter sings the lead, and david adds a tenor harmony on the last lines., orange blossom special. the rouse brothers of florida are credited as composers of this most popular of all programatic fiddle-train songs. in recent years chubby wise, vassar's predecessor in the blue grass boys, has admitted to taking a key role in it's composition. though the rouses recorded it in 1939, it was bill monroe's 1941 victor recording that set it on the road to popularity. the stanley brothers' 1955 recording, included on their first mercury album, reintroduced it to younger bluegrass fans in the late 1950s and early 1960s. many others have recorded it since then. this version has some great interplay between the instruments during the space before the final stanza - mandolin and fiddle, then fiddle and banjo, call and respond to each other; david raps on his mandolin, and vassar throws in one of his favorite musical quotes, a few notes from the dragnet theme., angel band. now a well-known piece in southern gospel tradition, this song is attributed to jefferson hascall and w. b. bradbury in r. e. winsett's 1948 gospel songster heavenly sunlight. according to charles k. wolfe, bradbury was a new york publisher and songwriter who seems to have flourished about the time of the civil war. like his other hit, jesus loves me, angel band is of 1960s vintage. it's best-known bluegrass version was recorded in 1955 by the stanley brothers and also appeared on their first mercury album. old and in the ways trio arrangement features jerry singing lead. for harmony parts, peter sings tenor above the lead, and david does baritone mostly below the lead except at the word "home" where he switches up an octave to high baritone ("a move unprecedented in the annals of bluegrass music"). vassar chimes in on bass from time to time, like a. p. carter of the carter family used to do - he can be heard clearly on the last note of the song., neil v. rosenberg, memorial university of newfoundland, st. john's, newfoundland, december 6, 1995, related releases, hard hearted and great pretender are included on the acoustic disc sampler;, acoustic disc 100% handmade music, vol. 3, various artists, 1997, acoustic disc acd 24, orange blossom special was included on the acoustic disc sampler;, acoustic disc 100% handmade bluegrass, various artists, 2004, catfish john was included on;, the very best of jerry garcia, jerry garcia, 2006 | $ | A |
