Album Description
biLive New York City 1982/b/i, originally pulled from David Bromberg's tape stash for limited edition sales, is the only album to date by the bluegrass-oriented bDavid Bromberg Quartet/b (DBQ), but it sounds as fresh as if recorded on their current 2008 tour. bNewly remastered/b for re-release, and now sporting droll, informative liner notes by David, biLive NYC 1982/b/i features three of the current members of the Quartet - Bromberg (vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin), award-winning fiddler Jeff Wisor (also mandolin, harmony vocals), and "Butch" Amiot (bass guitar, harmony vocals), and Gene Johnson (mandolin, fiddle, harmony vocals), who now plays with Diamond Rio. David's own bluegrass credentials include performing or recording with Jerry Douglas, Vassar Clements, Doc Watson, Bela Fleck, Tony Trischka and other pantheon-level pickers, as well as playing countless folk, country, and pop sessions for everyone from Bob Dylan to Dion. (Bromberg and two other Quartet members are also part of the backing group for bAngel Band/b, the vocal trio led by Bromberg's wife, Nancy Josephson; the second Angel Band CD, biWith Roots Wings/b/i, was released in May 2008.)P PThe DBQ's breathtaking mixture of precision and abandon, both instrumentally and vocally, is quickly established by the medley of fiddle tunes that spins off biLive NYC 1982/b/i's opening "Don't Let Your Deal Go Down," as guitar, fiddle, and mandolin weave a high-speed whirlwind out of "Red Apple Rag," "Turkey in the Straw," "Dixie Hoedown" and other traditional finger-busters, climaxing in a three fiddle rave-up.P PInterspersed between the exuberant, uptempo bluegrass staples are more leisurely standards, including "Dark Hollow," "On Our Last Date" (a melancholy Conway Twitty - Floyd Cramer ballad), a lovely instrumental called "Ookpik Waltz," and a pair of acoustic blues numbers (Leroy Carr's "Midnight Hour Blues" and Furry Lewis's hilarious "The Creeper's Blues"). More contemporary fare includes Bob Dylan's country waltz, "Wallflower," David Massengill's delicate "Fairfax County" murder ballad, and Ralph McTell's humorous Old West pastiche, "When I Was a Cowboy." Aside from adapting and arranging all of the traditional material here, Bromberg also wrote the road lament, "The New Lee Highway Blues." High, lonesome harmonies, mindboggling instrumental chops, and a contagious sense of fun make biLive New York City 1982/b/i a must-have release for Bromberg's many fans, old and new, and for all lovers of acoustic American music.P
