The Kentucky Colonels

With the recent release of some wonderful new mandolin CDs, it seems like the right time to devote a program to the instrument.

Mandolinist Roland White, along with his brother Clarence, revolutionized bluegrass while members of the Kentucky Colonels.

Roland has released a new recording in tribute to that band.

Black Patty is a duo from Germany who play blues and ragtime music on a variety of instruments, including the mandolin.

Those were the Kentucky Colonels, recorded in February of 1964, from their recording Appalachian Swing.

That was the Clinch Mountain Backstep.
