Ronnie McCoury - "Heartbreak Town"
I bought this album a couple years ago, mostly because I owned a couple of his father's, multiple IBMA vocalist of the year winner Del McCoury, albums. Ronnie has been playing mandolin on his father's albums for years and his mandolin playing is very good. His singing is suprisingly week considering his heritage and his song writing is hit and miss. As such, there are songs on the album I love, such as the instrumental Dawggone, a musical tribute to David Grisman, and others, like the title track, that I just skip over. It's an ok album, but since I have so many better ones I don't listen to it much. Listen to tracks of it here.
