5.0 out of 5 stars Josh Graves telling it the way it was. October 27, 2012
By Howard Parker
Format:Paperback
This is an opportunity to hear the iconic musician speak his piece in
his own words long after his passing. Fred Bartenstein has edited
Josh's memoir interviews with an oh so light touch.
Josh speaks in a matter of fact, unapologetic tone as a kid that just
happened to choose his own destiny and manage to ride a 60 year career
to a legendary status. He did it as a side man with the most beloved
bluegrass band of all time and he did it following his muse wherever
it led him.
You learn of Josh Graves the man and musician of course but, Graves is
fascinating when he details the business of early country and
bluegrass music. He details the economics,pitfalls and real danger of
being on the road during that time. Not for the faint of heart.
So much has changed of the years in some respects. So much hasn't
changed at all.
Fred Bartenstein has given us a compact memoir Of "Uncle Josh",
compact and straight forward. Josh speaking his mind, straight as an
arrow, no frills. No apologies. Josh Graves telling us the way it was.
I'm going to read this again.
