In the last year the popularity of Bluegrass Music has skyrocketed. One sign that this is continuing is the decision of Top Music International in Hong Kong to team up with California-based Highland Records to remaster and issue on a Hybrid Stereo SACD the album “The Vultures” by Joe Weed. The album’s DSD remastering and authoring was done by the Philips SACD team based in the Netherlands.
“The Vultures” album was originally released in 1995 on Compact Disc by Highland Records. It features musician/producer Joe Weed leading a group of well known musicians including Norton Buffalo, David Grisman, Rob Ickes and Todd Phillips as they perform a variety of surf tunes and instrumental hits from the ’60s and ’70s bluegrass style.
