The Seldom Scene - "Hit Parade of Love" from Live at the Cellar Door - 1975

The Seldom Scene recorded some incredible albums in the early to mid-'70s that led up to Live at the Cellar Door, an incredible set of 23 songs from the band's broad repertoire. This is the Seldom Scene at their very best... good music, very tight as a band and a lot of fun. Live at the Cellar Door is a progressive bluegrass classic, and sounds as fresh and alive today as it did in 1975. I pulled a playful and hopping "Hit Parade of Love" as a great example of how much fun these guys were having at the time... even when banjoist Ben Eldridge drops his pick twice during the song.

This version of the Scene includes Mike Auldridge on Dobro and Vocals, John Duffey on Mandolin and Vocals, Ben Eldridge on Banjo, Tom Gray on Bass, John Starling on Guitar and Vocals.
