Description
For four decades, Don Rigsby's distinctive voice and masterful musicianship have been an integral part of bluegrass as we know it. Kentucky Troubadour: The Rebel Collection arrives as a must-have retrospective showcasing Rigsby's incomparable Rebel Records catalog and transformative journey from ensemble player to commanding bluegrass statesman. This 15-song compilation features a variety of Don Rigsby highlights within multiple contexts -- as bandleader, solo artist, and collaborator -- providing a great snapshot of his career in the first quarter of this century.
Currently performing with Balsam Range, Southern Legacy, and his own band, The Fly-By Knights, Don Rigsby's lifelong pursuit of authenticity and craftsmanship have made him indispensable to the very sound of the genre.
"I'm very proud of my catalog, grateful for so many years and friendships and opportunities to grow," reflects Rigsby. "The business is constantly changing, but the art remains the same."
