Notes:
Tut Taylor Archive Cassette #078 is one of those musical gems in the Tut collection that turns up from time to time when you least suspect it-a March 25, 1999 recording of Tut and Norman Blake performing in-studio (‘Pickin’ in Earl’s Kitchen’) for an eastern Tennessee-based ‘SolidGoldBluegrass.com’ internet radio broadcast. Tut and Norman perform a variety of old favorites and some unreleased tunes, as well as a touching tribute to Charles Sawtelle (who had passed away a few days earlier), and are joined on a couple of songs by vocalist, Laura Walker, bassist and singer with the Dismembered Tennesseans (who also feature Norman’s old picking partner, Ed ‘Doc’ Cullis, on banjo). Everyone is in fine form and humor. Norman plays a 1929 Gibson Nick Lucas Special guitar, while Tut plays one of his Tutbro resonator guitars. –Mitchell Wittenberg
