Country comedy, singing and master musicianshipNovember 11, 2008 hyperbolium(Earth, USA) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Master multi-instrumentalist Roy Clark is most broadly known for his 1969 crossover hit "Yesterday, When I Was Young" and the cornpone personality he played for more than two decades on the television program Hee Haw. But long before Hee Haw, Clark made a name as a musician, winning two national banjo championships as a teenager, appearing on the Grand Ole Opry, and appearing on regional television programs. Though well-known to country audiences, his 1969 pop success and the debut of Hee Haw provided national exposure that led to guest hosting slots on The Tonight Show and touring stops in showrooms of Las Vegas. His live shows had always proved him an entertainer who was both a deft comedian and a consummate musician. The seventeen tracks collected here, cherry-picked from a pair of live albums (1972's Roy Clark Live! And 1976's In Concert), were recorded at two long-gone Las Vegas hotels, and include generous helpings of Clark's humorous between-song patter, his hit singles, and extensive demonstration of his prowess on guitar, banjo and fiddle.
In an era when country music's mavericks were getting edgy, Clark provided twangy music in a comfortable adult-contemporary context. The breadth of his offerings is impressive, including hot-picked versions of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," "Orange Blossom Special" and "Riders in the Sky," the old-timey "Alabama Bound," a cover of Wilbert Harrison's "Kansas City" that shows Clark a winning R&B picker, pop-country tunes "Thank God and Greyhound" and "Green Green Grass of Home" (the latter of which he colors with jokey new lyrics), and the full-on adult-contemporary sound of "Yesterday, When I Was Young." His eight-minute version of "Dueling Banjos" pits him in a master class battle against fellow five-string legend Buck Trent, and Clark's classical guitar technique is displayed on a dramatic version of "Malagueña."

Roy Clark continues to be one of the most exciting live performers in country music history. He has endured as a talented singer, comedian, and incredible guitar player, as this collection compiled from his two classic live albums Roy Clark Live!, and In Concert demonstrates.
These live recordings, unavailable for almost 30 years, are taken from two of Roy's biggest and most popular albums.
The release features two tracks with Buck Trent on banjo. Buck, a popular performer in his own right is acknowledged as one of the best banjo players in country music history.
