CD High Lonesome, the long-awaited sophomore album by bluegrass "super-group" Longview, brings to light some undeservedly obscure songs from the genre's adolescence. With an abundance of musical riches at its command, from the forceful lead vocals of Dudley Connell, James King and Don Rigsby to the right-hand punch of Joe Mullins' banjo, Glen Duncan's masterful twin fiddling and Marshall Wilborn's supportive bass, the band's homage to the sounds and spirits of 1950s and 1960s bluegrass captures the exhilaration and emotion of the originals, telling us through its power why so many people speak of their "conversion" to bluegrass.
