Dickey Betts- Highway Call

Highway Call
This is a glorious fusion of country, rock, bluegrass, swing, jazz, and everything in between -- done by a bunch of master musicians, smiling and groovin' as they make themselves and everyone around them feel good.

It is a mystery why this record is little-known and unheralded -- Dickie's fluid, sophisticated guitar runs are sublime, the bass is rollicking and in the pocket, the piano superior -- and it is wrapped by fiddles, background singers, and -- occasionally -- good time rock 'n roll.

You cannot go wrong with this one, whether you are an ABB fan or not.
