Sound of the Slide Guitar
Andy Hall
Sugar Hill
This is the second solo album for Hall, resonator guitarist (dobroist) for emerging “new” bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters. Recorded mostly live in the studio, it boasts eight instrumental and three vocal tracks, on which Hall sings lead. He plays a mahogany Meredith resonator, a 1929 National squareneck Style 2 Tricone, a Bear Creek Hawaiian and a koa Harper resonator.
Eight of the album’s tracks are originals, including the vocal number “One More Moment Here With You”; he also sings on “Deep Elem Blues” and Mark Simos’ “Fresh Flowers.” The third cover song is Norman Blake’s instrumental “Green Light on the Southern/Bony Crossing the Alps.”
There’s much to like on this album, for bluegrass fans and nonfans. Standouts include speed-pickin’ numbers “Velocity” and “The Chase,” as well as dobro duet “Circle the Sun,” mandolin duet “C-Bops (Special Ops)” and the unaccompanied Blake cover.
Lending their support are guitarists David Grier and Tim Stafford; fellow dobro player Rob Ickes; banjoist Noam Pikelny; drummer Tom Giampietro; and Hall’s fellow Stringdusters.
