Gold…In A Way- David Parmley & Continental Divide: Three Silver Dollars

Gold…In A Way is an opportunity for me to occasionally re-examine a bluegrass album that I believe deserves a second listen. This time out I look at David Parmley & Continental Divide’s 2009 album Three Silver Dollars. Featuring a title cut from Tom T. Hall and outstanding playing from Parmley, Dale Perry, Ron Spears, Ron… Continue reading Gold…In A Way- David Parmley & Continental Divide: Three Silver Dollars
