They start the Grassroots Festival off every year and finally someone caught it on tape. Good stuff from good players. These guys go back a long way together in several different configurations, but there is only one Bubba George. Heartfelt, driving playing from musicians who are completely comfortable with each other and what they do. Each song lasts about 8-10 min. They just go!

Liner Notes:
We've been brothers and friends pretty much our whole lives. Lived lost and loved together. We've been playing music as Bubba George for 25 years. This is our first album release. It's live, ruff, ramblin and kickin'. The tunes are long and they go through some changes, getting better and better, as our lives have. Let this be a reflection. We hope you enjoy it.
