I mentioned in my bluegrass upcoming releases that Sugar Hill is reissuing Doyle's first 4 secular albums on 2 CDs, and having now weaseled a couple of copies, I can safely pronounce that the job they've done is outstanding, and that if you have any interest at all in post-1960 bluegrass, you must own at least one. I'll be reviewing them for a familiar publication, so I'll save the detailed comments for there, but I don't see any reason that P2ers shouldn't be made aware of this requirement right now <g>. Titles are The Original Band and Once And For Always/The News Is Out; the first features the original band (duh): Terry Baucom, Lou Reid and Jimmy Haley, the second has two different bands: first, Baucom, Haley and the great Randy Graham, and second, Russell Moore, Ray Deaton and Scott Vestal (whose subsequent albums with Doyle are already available on CD). Jerry Douglas, Mike Auldridge, Sam Bush, Bobby Hicks and Glen Duncan contribute dobro and fiddle. Yummy. Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/
