I kinda shy away from the more hardcore country stuff on the Roadhouse,
since Swingin' Doors is loaded with it -- so it's rare that I play any
bluegrass, honky tonk, etc. on the Roadhouse.  Besides, we all know that
bluegrass is avant-garde old-timey music.g

 I'm betting this is off of one of several IMG comps. 

Nope.  It's from the Gusto vinyl compilation Best Of Bluegrass (or
somethin' like that -- the album's at home).  I ain't afraid to play
records, ya know.g--don

Same material.  You know, when I have a choice, I'd a lot rather rant about
the stupidity and arbitrariness of the IMG outfits than about the utterly
predictable venality of the majors; they have the rights to an astonishingly
wonderful collection of material in the King, Starday, et.al. catalogues,
and they hardly ever pass up a chance to put it out in a crappy manner if
they put it out at all.
