All Under One Hat Productions

By Robert Steelman

Robert Montgomery undertakes a Herculean task with this solo effort. This Auburn University graduate has compiled a recording of no less than 24 numbers, mostly instrumentals, performed totally by him. Montgomery is a champion old-time banjoist after the style of Uncle Dave Macon and Grandpa Jones. But he doesn't stop there he offers up several numbers featuring guitar leads in the style of Merle Travis. Through the “miracle of modern recording techniques” he also provides his own bass work.

This CD is a value if for no other reason than the sheer number of cuts offered.
