Grassy Licks
This album by banjoist Roger Sprung features some classic old-timey tunes like "Cluck Old Hen" and "Bill Cheatham" as well as a few surprises―for example, the Hebrew folk song "Hava Nagila" in a bluegrass style! Sprung is known for having introduced southern bluegrass music to New York and has played with the likes of bluegrass greats Doc Watson and Jean Ritchie, among others.
