Muleskinner - Live LP
The only bluegrass super group featuring Clarence White, David Grisman, Richard Greene, Peter Rowan and Bill Keith
For progressive bluegrass aficionados, Muleskinner Live -- Original Television Soundtrack is something of a watershed event.

Muleskinner's lineup was a knockout, boasting the talents of Clarence White, David Grisman, Peter Rowan, Bill Keith, and Richard Green, so it should come as little surprise that this live record is a powerhouse, illustrating everything that was right about progressive bluegrass. All nine songs that were originally aired on the TV program are here, along with four songs that were edited for broadcast. These
