Alan Munde is one of the finest players to ever pick up the five string banjo. From his early days with Jimmy Martin through his tenure with Country Gazette, Alan has continually expanded the breadth of his vision. Drawn from a series of recordings released on Slim Richey's Ridge Runner label in the early 1980's, this compilation contains an incredible display of banjo musicianship. Each cut combines logic, beauty and rhythmic propulsion. The tunes sparkle with freshness as the old is made new
