Johnson Mountain Boys: David Wallace McLaughlin (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Dudley Connell (vocals, guitar); Tom Adams (vocals, banjo); Eddie Stubbs (vocals, fiddle); Warren Blair (fiddle); Earl Yager (bass).
Blue Diamond is an excellent newgrass album that juxtaposes contemporary folk songs by Bob Dylan with standards by Carter Stanley, and country songs by Buck Owens. It proves that the Johnson Mountain Boys remain one of the best progressive bluegrass combos of the '70s and '80s. ~ Thom Owens
