Thanks, RB, this is pretty cool. Sounds like GP running through the songs to demo before the GP album. A lot of his phrasings aren't quite there as they were on the lp, although most of the arrangements seem close. I'm assuming that's Ric Gretch playing fiddle. Really good audio quality on this as well. Gotta give it a few more listens. Nice having some new GP to listen to. Thanks again !

addendum to previous comment:
Looks like the material here is from the same source as what was on the "Cosmic American Music " cd that was out on the Magnum label some years back. According to Sid Griffin's liner notes, the material comes from 5 cassette tapes that were auctioned off at Christy's, along with some of GP's other possessions. They were recorded at various times and locations, prior to the recording of the GP album.

Many thanks for this ! I have Cosmic American Music but I think the sound quality on this is
slightly better. I'm pretty sure Byron Berline is on some tracks.
