I'm assuming this is a reissue and the cover with "County 702" on a transparent background, as seen at Bluegrass Discography, is the original... can anyone out there confirm that for me? And, does that (black vs. transparent) rule apply to all County Records releases?
"For every expert singer, virtuoso banjo-picker, or accomplished mandolinist who has captured the public's fancy, there are likely to be several others heard fleetingly at fiddle contests or not at all, who play the music just as well, if not better… … authentic mountain music is today saturated with modern pseudo-country music. Old-time music is receding even further into the hills, while Bluegrass struggles to maintain an oasis in the electrified desert of country-pop music even as its most prominent performers suffer loss of energy and conviction."
