Over the years at
WIDR I had few guests I enjoyed more than Kalamazoo's own
Greensky Bluegrass. Put simply, this band is the reason I love bluegrass. On a cold winter night about eight years ago the combination of Bell's Two Hearted and Greensky's cover of When Doves Cry hit all the right nerves and my adoration for the twangy goodness that is bluegrass has grown ever since.
Though there were several phone interviews and oddly enough a couple games of Catchphrase during the WIDR years, the tracks on this compilation are the only records that have made it through. The first six tracks were recorded in 2009 right before their recording of
All Access Vol. 1, their second live album. It was their first appearance on the show as a quintet, so it was a real treat to have em play for a little bit and end with their "Beat It" tribute to Michael Jackson. The last track on this compilation of sorts is a combination of two short songs played back in 2007 when three of the fellas stopped in before playing on of their countless Bell's shows. Here's what you'll be listening to:
1. Intro
2. Untitled
3. WIDR Serenade
4. All Four
5. Q & A
6. Beat It
7. WIDR Jam

Scrounging through these recordings I stumbled across a video from their 07 visit and had to share.
