Pete Wernick - Dr. Banjo Steps Out (1977)

Pete Wernick - Dr. Banjo Steps Out

  If you like to smoke bluegrass then this is your album !

  .....i mean if you like smokin Bluegrass then this is your album!

  Pete Wernick is of course the banjo man who played in the vintage bluegrass band Hot Rize on Flying Fish label.   "Dr. Banjo Steps Out" is a bit Psychedelic....a bit bluegrass...a bit deliverance and bit rock and or roll........

   Wernick invented the phased banjo......an original technique that made this guy famous amongst the flower power kids and the ardent bluegrass crowd.

  Every song on this album is killer and offers some simply knockout banjo work that is sure to being out the air-banjo in everyone!
