Solo Original

When faced with the prospect of hearing a solo banjo album, you might wish you were in an American controlled Iraqi prison instead. Oh, not so with this one banjo-boy! Richie Stearns- Horseflies banjo player, National champion... not your ordinary banjo disc. Vocal tunes, quieter tones, etc. No crazy blazin' pickin'. Richie shows exquisite taste and restraint with all the numbers here. Like in jazz, sometimes it's the note you don't play that makes the piece. Great disc. A real nice listen.
