Kentucky Colonels: 1966 (LP)

(Americana Anthropology) 19 tracks

Released in 1978 by Shiloh Records, the album “1966” was a curious work: it contained only two songs from the Colonels' regular repertoire, while the rest consisted of finger-licking covers and traditionals. This reissue expands the offering to include some of their earliest known recordings, providing a complete menu from a legendary band that led bluegrass into a more modern era!

Record Labels: World Paciﬁc, Briar, Takoma, Rounder The Kentucky Colonels, eine Gesangs- und Instrumental- gruppe, wurde Ende der 50er Jahre gegründet und war eine der ersten und wichtigsten Bluegrass Formationen der Westküste. Nach Differenzen um die musikalische Richtung der Gruppe brachen die Kentucky Colonels 1965 auseinander. Die meisten Mitglieder wandten sich der Rock- und Pop-Musik zu. Versuche, die Gruppe in den 70er Jahren wieder zu reorganisieren, schlugen fehl.
