Review: Roland White is considered a living legend and a virtuoso on the mandolin. His work with the Kentucky Colonels, featuring his brothers Clarence and Eric Jr., brought bluegrass to the forefront of the American folk revival of the 1960s. This disc combines White and twelve classic Colonels songs with some prominent bluegrass artists, such as Gina Furtado (IBMA Nominee for Banjo Player of the Year), Jeremy Garrett (of the acclaimed Infamous Stringdusters), and Molly Tuttle (Americana Awards Instrumentalist of the Year).
