Dear Visitors,

Thank you for supporting Take's Bluegrass Album Channel, where I share rare and forgotten albums. Many of these records, mainly from the 1970s and 1980s, were never reissued on CD or digital formats, making them hard to find today. I aim to build a Digital Library to preserve this music for future generations.

Since 2016, I’ve uploaded over 2,700 albums, dedicating countless hours to keeping this music alive. Unfortunately, the channel is not eligible for monetization, and continuing this project requires significant time and resources.

If you value the albums shared here, I kindly ask for your support through donations. Your contributions will help maintain and expand the digital library, ensuring that this rich musical heritage remains accessible to everyone.

Even small donations make a big difference in preserving these treasures and keeping Bluegrass music’s legacy alive. Thank you for considering supporting this project.

Hey, Take. Thaks for all those gems. I've liked the thumbnail details on the bands, but sometimes it is too little to read. It could remain during the videos, or maybe the text on the description of the video or in a comment, what do you think?

Hey thanks so much for posting this. This was maybe the first time I had recorded for a record that was released. I played guitar and was 21 yrs old. I had only started to play ‘bluegrass’ guitar for about 4yrs. All self taught long before YT videos. Lots of learning things from vinyl records (how many times did I lift the needle??) then got an early cassette recorder which helped. I think I would slow down the vinyl to 16rpm sometimes to learn faster phrases etc. I was a kid from the suburbs with professor parents and NO connection to Appalachia. I heard a guy flatpicking a song in a music store and asked him what kind of music that was. He said it was an Earl Scruggs song. Went to a record store and bought a Scruggs record (Family and Friends) and Doc Watson played a few things on that record. It blew my mind. Went back to the record shop and ordered a Doc Watson record. And that’s what got me going. I know that no one will probably ever read this long comment but I’m enjoying writing this anyway. I was fortunate to have some natural physical abilities which certainly was a plus. Also some local ‘hillbilly’ musicians were really encouraging and supportive. To a suburban kid Ended up getting to tour with Norman Blake, Vassar Clements and Mark O’Connor in the following years. Lucky me Garland had left Jim and Jesse and hooked up with Darrel Samson to start this group. They were both country boys and Larry (the bass player) and I had nothing in common with them aside from the music. Garland was into having all of us wear Ridiculous tasteless matching shirts and double knit pants etc. Believing that was important. Haha. Before this record was released Larry and I had a falling out with Garland and either quit or were fired. It was pretty jive that Garland added our replacement musicians to the album credits as they did NOT play a thing on the record. I know that for a fact as my brother was the recording and mixing engineer. Ok I’m done with this long ass comment that no one will ever read But I saved a few hundred bucks by not telling a psychiatrist!!! YEE HAW

The second album is considered one of the finest Bluegrass bands assembled in the modern era. The 1st album shows the early steps toward the band JD would assemble to make the Rounder recording a world famous prized possession. If you are inclined the Rice brothers made 2 albums, that are excellent recordings and showcase the Rice talent. JD's banjo playing is as good as any , ever in the history of Bluegrass. His own touch ,style, rolls, and backup. Oh yes a great baritone singer as well. Even with all that talent, managed a mail distribution area, to make ends meet, and not be on the road constantly.
@TakehikoSaikiBluegrassAlbums
@TakehikoSaikiBluegrassAlbums 2 дня назад
This album is very interesting as we can compare somewhat different directions the band was experimenting. In my opinion, Skaggs played an important role in pushing their sound back to more tradition, or I would say "sophisticated tradition." Just saying. Thank you for your thoughts, ALS. :-) Take

@@TakehikoSaikiBluegrassAlbums It was the weekly gig in Lexington at the Holiday Inn that cemented this bands roots, and honed their chops. Ricky's voice and excellent musical skills added a new dimension, as did a very young dobro player who was creating a new dimension for the instrument. JD made records with drum etc, to try to survive, as country rock was blistering the airwaves. The early 70's were hard on Bluegrass musicians.

Excellent recording , showing Alan Munde, a great banjo player, in his early years. teams up with Roland White and they go for many decades. Roger Bush and Byron Berline both go on to great careers. Herb Pederson, who replaced Earl Scruggs with Lester Flatt plays guitar. He goes onto a stellar career playing both instruments with Bluegrass and country rock royalty. Also Clarence White , considered one of the finest flatpickers ever, the one who Tony Rice emulated and admired , and eventually made Clarence's D28 Martin, world famous.
