Tennessee Banjo Man

This is one of the most impressive banjo-forward non-instrumental tunes I have ever heard. I love the drive and the creativity of the arrangement, which incorporates elements of “Clinch Mountain Backstep” and “Down the Road.” Jason Davis demonstrates why he is one of the banjo greats of our day. To my knowledge, only one other band (Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver) has recorded this song, and it has been mainly forgotten or remains unknown to a new generation of bluegrass lovers. Additionally, the theme of a “banjo player ladies’ man” is a welcome and fun reprieve from typical banjo player jokes.
