Original session masters used with permission from John Palmer & Grassound Records.

Del McCoury’s Livin' On The Mountain is actually a re-release of one of his earlier, out-of-print albums. In 1971, he recorded a master tape that was released in 1976 on John Palmer's Grassound label out of Troutville, Virginia. The album remained in print for a short period of time and by 1992 – when it appeared on CD as Livin’ On The Mountain – was a scarce collector’s item. Appearing on the record were early band members Dick Staber on mandolin, John Farmer on banjo, Dewey Renfro on bass as well as guest fiddlers Buddy Spicher and Jim Buchanan. Standout performances included one of Del’s signature songs, “Don’t Stop the Music,” along with “How Long Blues” and “The Bluest Man in Town.”

Special thanks to John Palmer of Troutville, Virginia for allowing Rebel Records to make these classic recordings available.
