Groupe
Bluegrass US composé de David Grisman,
Clarence White, Peter Rowan, Richard
Greene et Bill Keith.
Muleskinner was perhaps the one and only bluegrass supergroup. Composed of
David Grisman,
Clarence White, Peter Rowan,
Richard Greene, and
Bill Keith, the group formed
as a favor to a California public television station looking for someone to
perform on a show with Bill Monroe's
Bluegrass Boys. The choice of musicians was perfect for all had began their
careers with bluegrass bands (Rowan,
Greene, and Keith with
Bill Monroe's band;
Clarence White with
the Kentucky Colonels; and
Grisman with the New York Ramblers)
and all had gone on to find success and respect in the industry (White with the
Byrds; Grisman and
Rowan with Earth Opera). Their
appearance on the show was so successful that the band was offered a one album
deal with Warner Brothers. The subsequent soundtrack to the TV special, an
instant hit among bluegrass fans for its mastery of the idiom, has been re-issued
several times throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. With the exception of White, who
died tragically in an auto accident, the members have reunited from time to time
for one-off performances.
