Tut Taylor Archive Reel #60 is a fine session featuring Tut's longtime pickin' pals, "The
Bluegrass Five" (plus one)-J.N. & Onie Baxter, Ron Norman, Hughie Wiley, Howard McGuire (and
Tut on Dobro)-recorded in November 1962 in Cordele, GA. There is some really hot playing and
singing by all involved, and this session perfectly captures the wonderful Bluegrass Five.
Ron Norman really burns it up on "Dear Old Dixie".
