Recorded at the Telluride Festival out there in Colorado, Crucial Country is a testament to disciplined performing and respect for the song.  I suspect many instrumental whizzes want to noodle around with their instruments until only the intoxicated members of the audience are paying attention.  Peter and the boys know when to noodle and when just to dress up a song in its best duds.  One might call it �having good taste� in addition to talent. Songs include Rowan�s classic �Panama Red� and �No Woman No Cry,� made famous by reggae legend Bob Marley. A word about Peter Rowan: He played with Bill Monroe in the 1960s, then Earth Opera  with dawg (bluegrass/jazz) musician David Grisman, Seatrain, and Old and in the Way featuring Grisman, Jerry Garcia and Vassar Clements.
