Album Description:

Virginia-based Jimmy Gaudreau got his start in bluegrass in 1969 when he was hired by acclaimed singer Charlie Waller and banjo pioneer Eddie Adcock as a member of the renowned Country Gentlemen. Since then, he has enjoyed a career that included stints with Adcock’s IInd Generation, Country Store, J.D. Crowe’s New South, Tony Rice Unit, Spectrum with Bela Fleck, Chesapeake and more recently Robin & Linda Williams and their Fine Group.

In Good Company features studio and live tracks drawn from Gaudreau’s varied career. Highlights include the Tony Rice Unit’s gorgeous rendition of “Another Lonesome Morning” as well as a blazing live performance of the bluegrass standard “Ain’t Nobody Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone” featuring banjoist Bela Fleck. Recorded shortly before his passing in 2004, Gaudreau backs up Charlie Waller on a heartbreaking recording of “The Old Songs.” Performances by Robin & Linda Williams, Moondi Klein with members of the bluegrass supergroup Chesapeake and the Fox Family are just a few of the gems to be found on In Good Company.

“I am thrilled to make these wonderful recordings available to bluegrass lovers through CMH Records,” Gaudreau said from his Virginia home. “I’m so appreciative to all the great artists I’ve been privileged to perform and record with over the years.”
