NOTE: Blogspot has recently changed the default when you click on blogspot-hosted images so that they open in a viewer that doesn't easily allow for zooming in on oversized images, at least on my machine/browser. This kind of defeats the purpose of these posts. The easy way around that is to right click (control click on a mac) and choose open link in new browser or new tab in the drop down menu that appears.

Buzz Busby and Leon Morris

Honkytonk Bluegrass released on Rounder Records (031) in 1974

Can anybody out there tell me how to decipher originals from reissues on Rounder?

"…he responded to the line peddled by an FBI recruiter who visited his local high school. WHile working in Washington, D.C. for the FBI for a year, Buzz also attempted to attend classes at George Washington University in addition to the FBI training courses. When the schedule finally proved too much, Buzz dropped out into a more-or-less full-time commitment to bluegrass, probably the only really continuous part of his life."

Oregon Territory - Bluegrass Comp from 1974

This is a compilation featuring bluegrass bands based in Oregon & Washington. It was released in 1974 by the short-lived Grassroots label (GR 001)... not sure if there were ever any other releases on this label. Full liner notes included.

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.
