From Hank Deane's original liner notes: "Hey, let's do a record in Nashville with everybody. "And Jethro Burns", says Sam. OK, all right, let's do it. I fly to Nashville to see Claude Hill and we do it."
Reception
Ken Dryden, in his AllMusic review states the album "...blur[s] the imaginary lines between jazz and bluegrass even further; after all, a good musician in either field should be a great improviser."
