To many young bluegrass converts, the name Boone Creek might not ring a bell. For those who are not familiar with that name, how do the names Jerry Douglas, Terry Baucom, and Ricky Skaggs grab ya?
This short-lived group was a progressive bluegrass powerhouse during its short existence. Formed following Skaggs and Douglas’ departure from J.D. Crowe & the original New South, Boone Creek’s1978 LP One Way Track brought together the all-star talent of Terry Baucom (banjo, fiddle, harmony vocals), Steve Bryant (bass, bass vocal), Wes Golding (guitar, lead and harmony vocals), Jerry Douglas (dobro, harmony vocals), and Ricky Skaggs (mandolin, fiddle, guitar, lead and harmony vocals).
On One Way Track, Boone Creek does many traditional bluegrass numbers, but gave them a progressive makeover; however, there are two original numbers that are stellar and really raise the bar for bluegrass of this time period.
