  • Backing to Burmingham = Lester Flatt

    East Bound and Down = Po Rambling Boys (my new fave band, btw)
    The Dixie Trucker’s Home = The one and only John Hartford
    The Lights On the Hill (Are Blinding Me) = Del McCoury (deduced through a process of elimination. Now I’ll have to find the tune and give it a listen)
