I came across this record by chance in the World Music section of the biggest recordshop in this town, a  section that I visit quite often because I love Celtic music on the one hand, and Latin music on the other hand. Norman Blake? Had never heard of the guy and the cover wasn't too interesting, either. I went to the listening post and I immediately fell in love with this guy's readings of traditional bluegrass material. His own songs -especially the 'Church Street Blues' are fantastic,too.
