Joe
Singleton had long admired the style that Joe Val brought to
Bluegrass music, this performance was a tribute to the high tenor vocals and driving bluegrass that made Joe Val
special. The band features Joe Singleton on lead and tenor vocals
and two members of Joe Val’s New England Bluegrass Boys,
Dave
Dillon, and
Eric
Levenson. Dave Dillon’s years with
Joe Val provided us with many treasures of recording featuring his guitar and vocals backed by Eric
Levenson’s unmistakable bass playing; joining them New England Banjo champion
Rich
Stillman, the fantastic fiddling of
Mike
Barnett, and John
Roc on mandolin.
