Del McCoury has one of those high tenor voices that seems to be enriched, rather than undermined, by age. Although you'd never mistake him for a youngster, he can still let the high notes fly with the confidence of a singer half his age. And in collaboration with his mandolin-playing son Ronnie, he has built a top-notch traditional bluegrass band that manages to keep itself firmly rooted in the verities while still conducting such (largely successful) experiments as collaborating with punk-country icon Steve Earle and recording songs by commercial folkie John Sebastian. The band's latest finds McCoury covering Bill Monroe (&Get Down on Your Knees and Pray&) and Jimmy Martin (&She's Left Me Again&), as well as the aforementioned Sebastian (the cute and clever &Nashville Cats&), and delivering a few fine originals as well. Highlights include Ronnie McCoury's vinegary instrumental &Red Eyes on a Mad Dog& and a great version of Verlon Thompson' s &Backslidin' Blues,& not to mention the group's spookily beautiful rendition of &Get Down on Your Knees and Pray.&
