This seven track EP by bluegrass band The Grascals is to celebrate the 50th. Anniversary of the Andy Griffiths Show.
Having never seen the Andy Griffiths Show, I have had to visualise the picture painted by this EP. It’s a Hoedown, the gals are in gingham gowns, the cowboys in their best boots, they’re dosey doe-ing and two steppin’ around the barn to a bluegrass band. The old folk are clapping hands, tapping their feet and sippin’ from a mason jar.
The Grascals are very proficient musically. This album will, without doubt, be a treat for those who can recall The Andy Griffiths Show with fondness. It will also appeal to those who enjoy bluegrass music of bygone days. Rita
