This is one of the covers that inspired me to create this blog.
The Blue Mountain Bluegrass Band's "Bluegrass - All Week Long and Sunday Too!"
My best guess is that this was released in 1978 by John's Presents (Blue 338).

Country Blue Grass Jamboree, Two-LP release
Country Blue Grass Jamboree on Mad-Bag Productions, Inc.
Two-record compilation.
Quick Google searches lead me nowhere on this one and the Bluegrass Discography site doesn't seem to have an entry for it. No idea when or where this was recorded or released. There's also not much in the way of information or interesting reading on the back cover, but the front image is just too good to not include on the blog!
Leave a comment below if you know something about this one.

Cranford Nix & Curly Seckler "Real Bluegrass"
Released by Walking Tree Records (WT 101) in 1983. I don't find any other references Walking Tree releases, so maybe this is actually a self-released record?
I'm thinking Cranford is the proud owner of one of the top five names in bluegrass.

Frank Wakefield w/ Country Cooking on Rounder (0007)
This self-titled record was originally released by Rounder Records in 1972... unfortunately, the "more modern" Rounder record label on this particular copy suggests I have a reissue.

Bands Featured: Dr. Corn's Bluegrass Remedy, Tall Timber, Puddle City, Muddy Bottom Boys and Sawtooth Mountain Boys. I do have other records from a couple of these bands that I'll post here eventually.
