This is the debut album for IIIrd Time Out called, quite simply, IIIrd Tyme Out. The five-piece outfit consisted of Russell Moore on guitar and lead vocals, Ray Deaton on bass and vocals, Terry Baucom on banjo and vocals, Alan Bibey on mandolin vocals, and Mike Hartgrove on fiddle. Most of the selections were recent compositions by some of bluegrass music’s top songsmiths: Pete Goble, Wes Golding, Norman Wright, and Carl Jackson. Several traditional country and bluegrass songs rounded out the set, such as “Love Gone Cold,” which was performed by Flatt & Scruggs in the 1950s but was never commercially recorded by them, Molly O’Day’s “When My Time Comes to Go,” and the Ernest Tubb favorite, “Thanks A Lot.” One bluegrass reviewer correctly foresaw the future when he predicted that “IIIrd Tyme Out is destined to be one of the significant bluegrass bands of the 1990s.” And beyond!
