(Rebel SLP 1577) 1978
Recorded on 5th Jan 1978 at Messa Studios in Wise, Va. This is a fairly typical Curly Ray album, with a smattering of vocal tracks and a chunk of fiddle instrumentals. It's also the first LP to feature the Junior Blankenship / Charlie Sizemore line-up of the CMB's.
Who's Gonna Mow My Grass was often the 'featured' vocal track by Curly Ray at Ralph's shows of the time.
Booger Man's Dream, credited to Curly Ray, is the fiddle standard Devil's Dream... as Curly noted in the March 1989 edition of 'Bluegrass Unlimited' ...lot's of people take the old tunes and change the names... now "Devils' Dream", I call that "Booger Man's Dream"... Ralph [Stanley] helped me come up with that one.[1]
Fred Huffman, who did the artwork for this and It's Bread And Water For... LPs, later designed the commemorative Blue Grass Boy belt buckle design that Doug Hutchens made for Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys in 1987.[2]
