Drop-Thumb
21 Clawhammer Banjo Solos
compact disc and tablature book
R.D. Lunceford • banjo
We can't get enough of this straight-ahead solo banjo CD from R.D. Lunceford, Washington State 5-string banjo luminary and a staff writer for Banjo Newsletter. The best old-time banjo pickers understand that less is more, and Lunceford is neither a play-every-note chromatic stylist nor a ham-handed banger; instead he nestles into that musical world where the tunes take shape on a firm foundation of relaxed but compelling rhythm. "Drop-Thumb" is nothing but the man and his banjo---no sidemen, no overdubs, no nothin'---and you'll be surprised at the musical feast it is! There's an accompanying book with tablature for all 21 tunes and in-depth notes.
