John Duffey - Rebel Years (1962-1977)

A 15-song collection featuring John Duffey�s solo work from the formative years of both the Country Gentlemen and early Seldom Scene.John Duffey is recognized as probably the single most important figure in the history of contemporary bluegrass music, known not only for his great tenor voice but for his ability to select and arrange material that appealed to both traditionalists as well as a new, emerging young crowd. As a founding member of both the Country Gentlemen and Seldom Scene, most of Duffey's recorded work was in a group context. But he also cut the occasional solo, and Rebel has gathered up 15 of these gems that show John in his prime and at his best. Some of the songs include memorable Gents recordings like �Bringing Mary Home,� �This Morning at Nine� and Bob Dylan�s �Girl from the North Country� as well as the Scene's �Reason for Being� and �Small Exception of Me.� In addition, two early Country Gentlemen classics��The Young Fisherwoman� and �The School House Fire��make their debut on a Rebel CD for the first time.
