Description: Tracks:Meet Me by the MoonlightOrphan GirlI'm Troubled, I'm TroubledOh Lovin' BabeJealous LoverGood-Bye MaggieShort Life of TroubleDark and ThornyRollin' OnDying Boy's PrayerOur Darling's GoneOld Ship of Zion Performer Notes: Personnel: Dudley Connell (vocals, guitar); Don Rigsby (vocals, mandolin);Aubrey Haynie (fiddle); Ronnie Simpkins (bass).Producers: Dudley Connell, Don Rigsby, Ronnie Freeland.Recorded at Burnt Hill, Clarksville, Maryland.This duo is keeping alive a valuable tradition that's liable to fade away: the country "brother" harmony duo. In traditional country music's past, there were the Delmore Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, and others. They sang in a close, tight harmony similar to that found in bluegrass. This sound influenced the Everly Brothers, who in turn influenced the Beatles, the Hollies and too many others to mention. Connell & Rigsby play country music that's closer in style to 1940s/1950s country, long before Nashville came to dominate. No pop polish, just guitars, mandolin, bass, fiddle and two voices sounding like the songs of the Virginia hills from decades past. But this is no museum piece: MEET ME BY THE MOONLIGHT is pure, pre-electric country music with harmony singing so full of ache it could snap your heart in two. Professional Reviews: Dirty Linen (4-5/00, p.77) - " re[s] to the landmark 1989 old-timey SKAGGS AND RICE....The most important similarity...is the solid and passionate performances of the songs, each of which is a testament to the craftsmanship and polish of some of the early traditional songwriters..."
