The bluegrass outfit Dry Branch Fire Squad has been turning out acoustic, old-timey goodness since the 1960s, and this THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL compilation provides a thoroughly enjoyable look back at the band's beginnings. Drawing on the Squad's first five albums, THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY proves that this group of pickers and grinners has been nailing intricate guitar licks and lovely high lonesome harmonies since their inception. Like most of the Squad's work, this is excellent stuff.
