Anonymous Collection 1 Tape #202 Listed as "Country Gazette, 1978-Aug-xx, Art Park,New York"



Anonymous Collection Cassette #202 features an interesting incarnation of the Country Gazette performing in 

August 1978 at Artpark in Lewiston, NY.  The band, at this point in their career, included Roland White 

(mandolin), Alan Munde (banjo), Joe Carr (guitar), & Mike Anderson (bass).  While the songs are faded between 

tracks on this tape, making identification of other band members difficult, I believe that the Gazette's 

sound is filled out for this show by Slim Richey (jazz guitar), Tommy Spurlock (pedal steel), and Michael 

J. Dohoney (drums); the Gazette recorded an LP in 1978, "All This and Money Too!" (Ridge Runner 0017) that 

included these sidemen.  Richey's influence really helps take the band into "jazzgrass" turf--they even 

perform Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't"!  Yet the Gazette still has one foot firmly planted in the 

bluegrass--their vocal harmonies sure pay homage to the Osborne Brothers.
