This brand new companion CD to the acclaimed early 70's recording "Aereo-Plain" featuring John Hartford, Tut Taylor, Norman Blake, Vassar Clements, and Randy Scruggs is now onTut's website! The new CD, "Steam Powered Aereo-Takes" is taken from 80 reels of tape recently found during a "garage cleaning" that were recorded at the same time that "Aereo-Plain" was recorded and features more of the same groundbreaking music that made "Aereo-Plain" so popular. "Steam Powered Aereo-Takes" has the same feel as the former recording, which John Hartford described as "one long jam", and highlights John's offbeat humour with never issued originals, alternate takes of other recorded versions, and several traditional tunes. Tut, Norman, Vassar, John and Randy were at the peak of their game in this recording and it is a wonderful thing to hear them loosen up and cut loose while the tape rolled. This should be in your CD player right now!
