The Tennessee Boltsmokers, Vintage All American Dream

2009 | Label: Madjack Records / Redeye

Vintage All American Dream is a rousing set of fast n' furious bluegrass. It's got a refreshingly live and unpolished feel, even with the technical virtuosity on display. For the most part, The Boltsmokers stick to traditional bluegrass modes — jumpy mandolin rhythms, fast-picked banjo solos and high harmonies. On songs like "Fool for You," though, they delightfullyl flip the script, augmenting the sound with almost-tropical pedal steel and a old timey saloon style woozy rhythm.
