On the 12th day of the 12 DOB...
So now that we got the corrected post out of the way, this is the second volume of this series. This album has he remainder of the Walls of Time album as well as the Working Close album. Nothing really rare of obscure, just great bluegrass from the early 80s which helped to represent a big traditionalist movement which occurred during the 80s. Before the JMB did it, it really wasn't cool for a new bluegrass band of young guys to all dress alike in suits and cowboy hats. Sure, Monroe was still doing it and so were some of the other groups that had been around a long time, but outside of those few exceptions, it just wasn't what was done. In that way, it made JMB revolutionaries just like the groups who stopped dressing alike and had long hair and blue jeans in the 60s and 70s. It brought back a certain amount of professionalism to the music. It gave off the impression that they were professionals and not just showing up at festivals and giving it a go. No, with the JMB you got the impression that they took their bluegrass seriously and their presentation was just a part of that.
