About this album

Confederation is a lively bluegrass album that puts musicianship and songcraft front and centre. Released in 1978, it pairs Larry McNeely with Geoff Levin and Jack Skinner on a set rooted in traditional material and instrumental drive, with familiar folk songs such as Liza Jane, Old Joe Clark and Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms giving the record its classic framework. The album sits firmly in the bluegrass tradition while showing the trio's tight interplay and confident picking, making it a strong example of late-1970s acoustic revivalism. Its mix of heritage tunes and spirited performance gives Confederation enduring appeal.
