Gusto Releases Compilations That Include Larry Wallace
Gusto Records of Nashville, Tennessee recently released two new collections that feature many classic recordings from several legendary bluegrass artists. Included on these releases are two instrumentals by Larry Wallace, originally released on his Sunny Mountain Banjo with Jimmy Martin album. These new releases feature classic selections by Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin, Reno and Smiley, Stringbean, The Country Gentlemen, Mac Wiseman, Raymond Fairchild, Larry Sparks, The Stonemans, Hylo Brown, and many other bluegrass greats. Larry’s “Pike County Breakdown” is included on 16 Blazin’ Bluegrass and “Fire On The Mountain” appears on Essential Bluegrass:16 Classics. Gusto Records has also released these two albums as a 2-CD set that includes all 32 songs in one collection.
Larry states, “This is one of the greatest things that has happened in my career. Growing up, I collected many classic Gusto albums and I just can’t believe that now I’m a part of that label in Nashville. In 2007, I was so proud they released my album, Sunny Mountain Banjo with Jimmy Martin, and now this. This is definitely a dream come true.”
  
16 Blazin' Bluegrass, Essential Bluegrass: 16 Classics, Sunny Mountain Banjo with Jimmy Martin, and the 2-CD set are all now available here on our merchandise page.
Blue Chip Pick Endorsement!
The Larry Wallace Band is proud to announce the endorsement of Blue Chip Picks. These type flatpicks are the best available today for acoustic and bluegrass players. For many years, a tortoise shell pick had been the most desirable choice for many mandolin and guitar players. Now Blue Chip! These unbelievably fast and durable picks are manufactured in Knoxville, Tennessee and are considered "the best" available. Blue Chip recently announced the addition of the J.D. Crowe Blue Chip Thumb Pick to their line of picks and Larry Wallace has been playing with the Crowe model.
Larry says, "This is the best thumb pick I've ever played a banjo with. I predict the standard plastic thumb pick will become a thing of the past. I'm hearing tones from my banjo that I've never heard before. Thanks to Blue Chip!"
So, if you're a mandolin, guitar, or banjo player who's serious about playing and sounding better, click the Blue Chip link here on our site. You'll be glad you did!
