Norman Blake - Shacktown Road

Tut Taylor and Norman Blake are Grammy award winners in the folk/traditional folk genre and are legends in their own right. This new recording with Blake, Taylor, and Nancy Black reaches back in time to days when folks gathered at a store around the only radio in town to tune in to the 'Grand Ol Opry' on Saturday nights. It was a simpler time, when people didn't have so many distractions and enjoyed the company of friends and the crackly sound of good music coming from far away places. SHACKTOWN ROAD is music that stirs the embers of memories of those who remeber it and sets those old tones aflame again for those too young to have been there.
