When at Last Review – Bluegrass Unlimited
For the past thirty plus years, Russ Barenberg’s name has been synonymous with tasteful and tuneful flatpicking guitar. Although his prior solo albums and his work with Tony Trischka, Andy Statman, Country Cooking, Fiddle Fever, and Jerry Douglas & Edgar Meyer influenced and inspired countless musicians, it’s been almost twenty years since his last solo release. The story goes that a move to Nashville from his New England base led him down a path where music, or at least touring, had to take a back seat to feeding his family—an all too familiar story. But, circumstances have changed, and we all stand to be the beneficiaries of his return to the studio and the road.
