A GLORIOUS FULL LOAF HERE
Loafer’s Glory is an fine record by a wonderful band. It’s traditional bluegrass music at it’s best. Not a lot a fancy frills here. It’s old time music played the old time way. The band has very tight three- and four-part harmonies, and they are very proficient on their instruments, especially Patrick Sauber, who is a world class banjo player. He is so good that he makes it look easy. Patrick’s playing is fluid and effortless. If you like bluegrass, then you will love Loafer’s Glory. I saw them perform recently at McCabe’s Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, California. Let me tell you, it was an amazing show. If you can see Loafer’s Glory perform, then by all means go — and by the record directly from them (because they make more money that way.) If you cannot see them perform live, then please by their record from Amazon.

“A great album from some old pros. If you like cool, confident, no-muss, no-fuss traditional bluegrass music, you’ll dig this gloriously relaxed session from the top-flight Loafer’s Glory ensemble, featuring singer Herb Pedersen and his longtime collaborator, bassist Bill Bryson, along with their pals, Tom and Patrick Sauber, all long-time veterans of the bluegrass and twang scenes. This is a sweet, low-key set packed with old favorites and flawless harmonies and picking… The ensemble vocals remind me of the Osborne Brothers in their mellower moments — I’m sure you’ll find favorable comparisons as well. This is truegrass the way I like it, tapping into the music’s inherent soulfulness rather than the drag-racing side of things. Recommended!”
