HOW THIS WAS COMPILED
THE SONGS
This is meant to be a compilation of Yonder playing traditional
bluegrass, so songs written by contemporary songwriters are
excluded ; no John Hartford because the Yonder Play Hartford
compilation covers him ; no 'one off songs played just because
the songwriter happens to sit in ;
no duplication of the instrumentals covered by
Hunter Barry's fine "InstruMENTAL" compilation ;
and no songs from the non Ben Kaufmann tour in spring 2004.
Its all old bluegrass songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s,
done by the full band.
And despite it's girth, this isnt meant to be definite,
just thorough - though i bet once this is torrented,
people will find a dozen songs that should have been
included....
THE VERSIONS
Quality of recordings was the first consideration, with preference
given to
single mic shows (to fit in with the traditional nature of the
compilation).
I tweaked the levels to try and have everything close to a uniform
volume, and
applied some fading for smoothness. All sources either from the LMA or
my own discs.
Despite some serious rarities (some of the songs were only played a
handful of times, so
my choice of sources was often limited), there's NO poor recordings on
here.
THE NOTATIONS
I've tried to indicate the original songwriters wherever possible, and
the way that
Yonder probably learned the songs - i dont claim to be a bluegrass
scholar, so if any
of the notations are wrong, apologies.
THE THANK YOUS
When i first compiled this back in 2003,the efforts of Pastor Tim,
Bob Troutman and Nate Dawg were invaluable - i never would
have even attempted this without their support. There was no
handy dandy Phantasy Tour songlist to use, so this crack team supported
me as i combed through setlists to come up with a songlist, and fed
me info i didnt know as to the songs' origins.
Thanks, guys.
And thanks to the Phantasy Tour board for giving me the 'nudge'
to work on this remaster edition.
