As I sit here listening to "Old Hound Dog" from Papa Truck from Wycombe London and South East UK, it takes me back to the New Grass sounds of the "Red,White, and Bluegrass" days of the mid-seventy's when I first started spinning Bluegrass LP's on the radio.  The sounds of the like's of "New Grass Revival" and Hot Rize.  Those also where the days of the Grisman "Dwag" grass and the Rice Brothers where hot too.  Well I guess that's why  "Papa  Truck" also the title of their new CD list's them selves as "British Newgrass".  They could be considered by some a bit towards the Jam Bands that all the young grasser's are hot for here in the states these days. But they are close enough to the traditional for the like's of me who will venture off and play the like's of Drew Emmett and that Yonder Mountain String Band sometimes too. Maybe even Les Sear's and Charlie Hall who are dyed in the wool traditionalist may give'em a spin, I think Charlie ventures off some times to though. I like "Travelin' Man" and "Keep Until Tomorrow" too, both original tunes by Dan Abrams the Banjo man and Martin Selman Lead vocalist and also play's just about everything in the band including Jaw Harp.  I really like Dan's lead in licks on banjo on those two afore mentioned tunes. All the song's are original, written by Selman or Selman and Abrams. The rest of the band Ryan Quartermanie Guitar and harmony & Sparkie, bass and lead vocal on "Sun Is Rising". Martin's vocal styling delightful British feel to them of course. But then even the boy's from Liverpool those Fab "Beatles" loved bluegrass back in their early day's. I'm lovin' it mates and of course that's what the world need's now isn't it"Love,Love,Love"!  Thanks for getting the album to me Dan will pass it on to the rest of the pack here at the WWB.
