Clarence White guitar playing is sort of like a combination of three of my favorite guitarist, Jerry Garcia, Roy Buchanan, and James Burton. He plays with the melody of Jerry, the tone and brilliance of Roy, and the conciseness and sweetness of James. Now that is saying something. 

Of the three he had the most in common with Jerry Garcia. They both started in bluegrass before becoming electric guitar masters. They also both played in a David Grisman / Peter Rowan line-up in the 1972 - '73 period, with Clarence on guitar with Muleskinner, and Jerry on banjo with Old and in the Way. Their approach to playing also have some similarities with a melodic approach and the way they sound like their chasing the vocal line. Another trait they share in common is their non-stop playing. I have a Jerry Garcia section that details his solo work, seemingly whenever the Grateful Dead weren't on tour Garcia played with one of his side bands. Likewise, Clarence was non-stop with his musical endeavors.

This classic 1978 Sierra release is now available for the first time on compact disc with bonus tracks. Jerry Garcia called Scotty Stoneman the "Bluegrass Charlie Parker " while others called him "the Jimi Hendrix " of the fiddle. Live In L.A. is the only album featuring this innovative country fiddler with both instrumentals and vocals along with the legendary Kentucky Colonels featuring Clarence White. Mastered from the original audio tapes, this release also features many new, rare photos with notes by Richard Greene, Peter Rowan and Jerry Garcia, as well as faithful reproductions of the original LP color graphics plus four bonus track not on the original vinyl LP release.

Meanwhile, Country Fever sessions were recorded in April 1967 and had 17 songs recorded. Of them, 12 are included on the album. This Rick Nelson band featured James Burton on lead guitar.

As a side note, both Clarence White and James Burton went on to play some of the best country rock with Gram Parsons, but at different times. Clarence with The Byrds and James on the two solo Gram Parsons albums. 

The Rick Nelson county albums noted below have rotating personnel, but a mainstay is one of the top pedal steel guitarist Tom Brumley from Buck Owens' band. Others members include Randy Meisner from Poco, and The Eagles, Linda Rondstat (her early Capital albums), and several others played with the New Riders at different times.

Product Description
From their earliest days as 12-string-wielding folk-rockers, to the thrilling psychedelic excursions of their raga-rock period to their 1968 birthing of country-rock, the Byrds were always accorded a hero's welcome in England. What better place to record founding Byrds member/guitarist/singer Roger McGuinn's new version of the band--featuring fretboard ace Clarence White, bassist Skip Battin and drummer Gene Parsons--than London's Royal Albert Hall! 

Rescued from a tape that had sat forgotten in McGuinn's climatized garage for decades, this stellar 1971 set, featuring live versions of the current band's studio faves ("Lover of the Bayou," "Chestnut Mare") as well as adventurous reworkings of Byrds classics ("Mr. Tambourine Man," "My Back Pages," "Eight Miles High," "So You Want to Be a Rock `n' Roll Star") might be the most accurate and stirring live performance yet of the legendary Los Angeles combo. By 1971, the guitar interplay of McGuinn and White had become a jaw-dropping highlight of their live performances, as had their stripped-down, acoustic mini-set and peerless four-part vocal harmonies. As McGuinn, in typically understated fashion, says of this new Sundazed release, available now on both compact disc and as a high-definition vinyl, double-gatefold LP: "It was a great night, so I'm happy there's a record of it!" 

Wikepedia
Muleskinner was an American bluegrass band, consisting of Clarence White (guitar, vocals), Peter Rowan (guitar/vocals), Bill Keith (banjo), Richard Greene (fiddle) and David Grisman (mandolin). Muleskinner formed to play on television, resulting in a live recording that was, for many years, a lost bluegrass legend before a copy was found and released. The band was an all-star lineup of young bluegrass stars, chosen to play with Bill Monroe, the originator of the genre, in the hopes of mainstream success. The attempt failed, however, to cross over, and the first release of the recorded was quickly out of print.

Performances: NEW CAMPTOWN RACES / DARK HOLLOW / LAND OF THE NAVAJO / BLACKBERRY BLOSSOM / KNOCKIN' ON YOUR DOOR / OPUS 57 IN G MINOR / RED ROCKING CHAIR / THE DEAD MARCH / ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL

Sierra is proud to announce the release on DVD of it's 1992 video,"Muleskinner- Live" and is now in stock. This Sierra DVD release is exclusive to Sierra and not available from any other retail or mail order company in the USA. The first super group of bluegrass music, "Muleskinner", as they were later to be called, made their first appearance ever on what was the first nationally televised program of bluegrass music. Taped before a live in-studio audience in Hollywood CA in February 1973, Clarence White, David Grisman, Richard Greene, Peter Rowan and Bill Keith reunited after years of individually playing rock and roll music in this ground breaking, once believed lost television program for the first time exclusively on this Sierra DVD. Originally released on Sierra VHS tape in 1992, this magical television performance represents the entire edited final tv broadcast from the original 2" analog color videotape transferred direct to digital. The results are spectacular! If you own the older VHS tape version, you will be amazed at the audio and video quality afford by this DVD, playable in ALL Regions. Inside is contained the original liner notes, rare photos and the reproduction of the original VHS cover graphics. This legendary group of would influenced a new generation of bluegrass musicians from Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor, Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs to Alison Krause, Nickel Creek and the "O' Brother" generation. After making brief stage appearances a month later followed by one studio album and finally the untimely death of Clarence White in July 1973, Muleskinner never performed again as a group. This DVD as well as the companion original soundtrack Sierra compact disc is dedicated to Clarence White, who was a virtuoso human being and guitarist.

(Production Note) This is the exact same program that was original released on Sierra VHS in 1992, 30 minutes in length but in fair superior quality both in picture and sound. You be amazed to see the clarity as if it was video taped yesterday! As stated in the original notes to both the VHS release and the CD soundtrack of the program, the additional songs that appear on the CD only existed on an audio tape made of the program. The videotape of those performances were erased when the program was edited for broadcast back in 1973. Regrettably, the extra songs were never saved and thus did not appear on the VHS release or now on the DVD.)

Old and in the Way was a bluegrass supergroup in the 1970s. The group performed traditional tunes such as Pig in a Pen as well as bluegrass-flavored versions of The Rolling Stones' Wild Horses and Peter Rowan's Panama Red.

Old and in the Way's debut album Old and in the Way which was released in 1975 was the top selling bluegrass album for decades. The group, sans Jerry Garcia and John Kahn, released a reunion album in 2002, called Old and in the Gray.

After some Great American String Band concert performances between April and June 1974, David Grisman formed a more permanent band releasing scores of brilliant music, especially his first few albums. For the Django influenced material, David uses the mandolin in place of some of the traditional acoustic guitar rhythm is a sound to behold when in such capable hands and orchestration of David Grisman.

In his new band Grisman used only a few members from Muleskinner and Old And In The Way such as Vassar Clements and Bill Keith. He instead got other top notch musicians for this line-up, players like Jerry Douglass, and Tony Rice. For a tour he hooked up with Django's long time partner Stephane Grappelli; thankfully they released a live recording.
