Bluegrass Songbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers over 140 traditional bluegrass songs. The tablature is non standard but is well explained in the book and is simple to follow.
If the musician learns half the songs in the book (s)he will be welcome at bluegrass jams. This is the book to own and learn from.
The author lists recorded versions of the song of the singer to listen to. There is an section covering how to sing bluegrass harmony, guitar chords, etc.
I wish the author would put out a volume 2 of the book.

Jam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reading McLaughlin's poems is like listening to Janis sing. You feel this gutsy broad way down deep in your bones. She didn't just write these poems. She's lived in them and with them all her life.

As the title implies, Jam features a wealth of poems driven by a distinct music resulting from Joe-Anne McLaughlin's studies in both jazz and blues. Propelled by strong rhythms and line breaks, McLaughlin's poems present a variety of colorful characters trying to get by on the strength of "Waller's boogies / or Morton's rolls / Hot Lips' riffs / or Bessie's groans." An original and exciting voice, McLaughlin's poems are introduced by award-winning poet and essayist Stephen Dunn.

ALL STAR BLUEGRASS JAM-ALONG FOR GUITAR BK/CD (Jam Along Book & CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Grier's jam book is well worth the price. The tune selection is nicely varied, although the picking style is sometimes repetitious. Usually, when I buy a book like this I find maybe one tune worth learning. In this I found four. I do like Grier's picking style for the most part. He plays the tune melody but inserts jazzy emblishments that add interest and challenge to the tunes. This style is like no other I have heard as an expienced jammer on the U.S. east coast. Great for intermediate and advanced pickers. A determined beginner might handle several tunes, but most are pretty demanding. All tunes played at a medium tempo.
