Fantastic album! Still got my original LP of this, but like you, I don’t listen to it so often these days.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… a recent release and I placed in the Qobuz queue after several mentions and now getting around to taking out for a spin. A collection of 10 cover songs and best described in the ‘RollingStone:’ " Recorded at home on a reel-to-reel tape machine, the album — released to streaming on Friday — features the works of legendary songwriters including Bob Dylan (“Señor,” “Abandoned Love”), John Prine (“Hello in There”), Elizabeth Cotton (“Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie”) and Norman Blake (“Ginseng Sullivan”), along with their fresh arrangements of traditional tunes such as “Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss” and “Poor Ellen Smith.” Taking its title from the traditional song recorded by artists including bluegrass legends Ralph Stanley and Jimmy Martin, the forthcoming LP also includes Welch and Rawlings stepping into the iconic shoes of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash for a cover of the duet “Jackson.”
The opening track is sounding mighty fine and look forward to the rest of the album!

Just purchased a mint vinyl copy of this album- I previously owned it and then got rid of my vinyl collection when Cd’s came along- big mistake as I am now buying back many albums that I have already bought once!
The SQ and production are outstanding on this album.

Obviously there is no definitive choice, but Larry Carlton’s solo on Kid Charlemagne has to be on the short list for greatest guitar solo ever.

Which one? He plays two solos on that track. I transcribed both many years (decades!) ago. I must see if I can find it.
Answer: both are equally excellent.
