Appalachian Stomp is an ideal starter disc for those just beginning to explore bluegrass. Mostly this is because its 18 selections are so immediately accessible. The "ics" here?? in other words?? are usually those infrequent bluegrass cuts to have gained radio recognition beyond a core bluegrass audience. That explains why along with timeless standards such as Flatt & Scruggs' "ggy Mountain Breakdown" and the Osborne Brothers' "Rocky Top" we also get "Dueling Banjos" from the film Deliverance?? a cut that is to classic bluegrass what Walter Murphy is to Beethoven. There are less immediately obvious choices too?? though. If your previous exposure to bluegrass doesn't go beyond the Holy Trinity of Bill Monroe?? Flatt & Scruggs?? and the Stanley Brothers--for example?? if you've never heard J.D. Crowe & the New South's stellar example of progressive bluegrass?? "me Place??"or experienced Jimmy Martin lay down the law on his rousing "You Don't Know My Mind"--then you're in for a high-lonesome surprise. --David Cantwell
