Level Best
Drivin' the Blue
(Redstart Records)
By lovingly revisiting selections by Flatt and Scruggs, Buck Owens, Jimmy Rodgers, and others Level Best strengthen the Americana culture-thread that links generations. This is People's music. It is hand-tooled and tells of common-man life - its joys, aspirations, hardships, and (through dark days) faith that finer times lie ahead. Because Level Best excel at their chosen craft - fiddle, guitars, mandolin, banjo, upright, and sonorous voices raise the nobility of regular folks - the deep worth of these cuts' original incarnations is preserved. Even expanded upon.
Recommended: "I Ain't Gonna Work Tomorrow," "Good Morning, Mr. Railroad Man," "Till I Can Make It On My Own," "Streets of Bakersfield," "While I'm Waiting For You," "California Blues," "Drivin' the Blue"
