Notes:


Tut Taylor Archive Reel #040-Unknown

Tut Taylor Archive Reel #40 is a prototypic tape from the Tut Collection-a mix of a variety of different recordings that criss-cross the musical map.  Side A begins with several circa mid-1960's recordings of Tut in the company of 
unknown others; ÒWestgateÓ (track 2) and ÒDobro CountryÓ are marvelous.  These songs are followed by a two-tune edit from a Flatt & Scruggs live performance (gotta love the Martha White Flour coupon plug!), and by two songs 
featuring Tut and, I believe, The Kentucky Colonels.  Tut then joins Rosalie Sorrels and Bruce ÒUtahÓ Phillips for several songs that are also found on Archive Reel #43.  The tail end of Side A and the first portion of Side B 
feature an unknown bluegrass group in a live setting, followed by several nice but all too brief tunes highlighting Tut's mandolin prowess (Side B, tracks 8-10).  Side B is rounded out by some more bluegrass recordings with Tut on 
Dobro from what sound like different recording sessions.   All in all, Reel #40 shows us the breadth of Tut's musical interests and Dobro and mandolin talents.
