| | Big Country Bluegrass CD Big Country Bluegrass Discography of CDs
This is the music that I describe as “Galax” or “Mt. Airy” bluegrass - the sound and style that evoke memories of Ted Lundy, Larry Richardson, Roy McMillan, Joe Edd King, Joe Greene and countless others. The rhythm and timing are solid, the instrumental work is clean and tasteful, and the vocals are heartfelt. The music is hard-edged with a live flavor, not honed to perfection by repeated takes and overdubs. Big Country Bluegrass is in the forefront in keeping authentic, traditional bluegrass alive.Kerry Hay - Hay Holler Records1997This is an excellent recording. The music, the harmony, the timing is perfect. Big Country Bluegrass is a favorite at the Carter Fold. I believe this band will go far in the bluegrass field. Janette Carter - Director Carter Fold Hiltons, Virginia Here is a great recording a person should have in their collection. This type ofbluegrass music needs to be preserved in a professional manner and Big Country Bluegrass is doing just that.Harold Mitchell - Bluegrass JD/MC Galax, VirginiaDuring their last several years, Big Country Bluegrass has built a fine reputation for the best in traditional bluegrass music. The core group of Tommy and Teresa Sells, Larry Pennington and Alan Mastin is not only rock solid with their music, they’re equally strong with their taste and knowledge of the music’s roots. The band’s past lead singers include such names as Udell McPeak and James King; however, it is with their present lead singer and fiddler, Jeff Michael, that the band has crystallized it’s purest traditional sound. Jeff has deeply studied the music, following it back to it’s guiding force, Bill Monroe. His bluesy instrumental talents, and his moving, soulful lead and harmony singing highlight an award winning band sound that is the very heart and soul of bluegrass music.Dale Morris - Musician/EducatorElk Creek, Virginia Big Country Bluegrass Music Big Country Bluegrass Songs | 1. | I Still Miss Someone |

Purchase Big Country Bluegrass CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | George Strait Twang CD (2009)
Big Country Bluegrass album
 $9.99    
Perhaps even more impressive than George Strait's astounding number of platinum albums and chart-topping singles is his uncompromising consistency; TWANG is yet another welcome set of same sort of finely crafted, traditionally-rooted country music that Strait spent decades refining. That said, there are a few surprises. One is that the veteran singer wrote several songs on TWANG with his son ...
| | Toby Keith American Ride CD (2009)
Big Country Bluegrass CD music
$13.35 
With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb and striking as it is, it's not necessarily a good keystone for the rest of the record, which does have a few tougher numbers that pick up on the lean, mean vibe of 2008's THAT DON'T MAKE ME A BAD GUY -- "Every Dog Has Its Day," the sly "If I Had One," and the heavy blues stomp "Loaded" -- but spends more time on the softer side, even when he kicks up a bit of dust on the dancefloor on "You Can't Read My Mind" or does a funny, respectful salute to military life on "Ballad of Balad." In other words, the real touchstone for the rest of the record is "Tender as I Wanna Be," where he lets his guard down and lets the romance flow. This doesn't turn AMERICAN RIDE into a schizophrenic jumble, as Keith has always balanced these two extremes, but after spending a little bit more time swaggering than wooing, he's back to crooning and it's amiable and appealing.

| | Jimmy Wayne Sara Smile CD (2009)
Big Country Bluegrass album
$10.38
Jimmy Wayne is no fool. While the five-year break between his 2003 debut and 2008's Do You Believe Me Now? was precipitated by one label going out of business and his contract being transferred to another -- given the fickle nature of radio programmers and audiences seeking the next big thing, it was a minor miracle that the title single hit the number one spot on Billboard's country chart. He knew not to tempt fate a second time. Wayne wasted no time; he toured hard to support it, and then jumped right back into the studio to record Sara Smile. The album is named after the Hall & Oates' classic -- they appear on it as well. It's a reverent version -- except for the banjo introducing it, and the Nashville production style that includes pedal steel, prominent fiddles, and mandolins. Wayne recorded the song for two reasons: it's the song that got him his first record deal as a singer, and because it has been a live staple since the beginning, his live audience demanded it. Wayne basically apes Hall's lead vocal -- including falsetto -- note for note. The smooth Hall & Oates backing vocal ices the cake. And despite it appearing on a contemporary country record, it is still unmistakably a soul song and Wayne pulls it off in spades. Wayne wrote or co-wrote four of the album's ten ...
