It's Just The Night (CD)

Singer/guitarist Del McCoury has managed to take an old-school approach to bluegrass and give it a vitality and contemporary relevance few of his peers can match. He got his start playing with Bill Monroe in the early '60s, but by the end of the decade he began leading his own band. By the '90s, McCoury (whose band by that time included his sons Rob and Ronnie) crossed over to find favor with rock audiences while never wavering from his roots-conscious approach.

IT'S JUST THE NIGHT was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.

Don't be put off by the strikingly cheesy album cover, IT'S JUST THE NIGHT is a jewel in the crown of hard-hitting bluegrass champs the Del McCoury Band; it even garnered Del and the boys a Grammy nomination. Just as they did on their previous release (appropriately titled DEL AND THE BOYS), the band starts off with a grassed-up version of a Richard Thompson song; this time around it's the broken-hearted survivor's song "Dry My Tears and Move On." As always, McCoury and company are masters of turning out hardcore, no-frills bluegrass, while simultaneously introducing just a little something extra to turn one's ear slightly to the left--the vaguely Eastern-sounding scale present on the hard-charging "My Love Will Not Change" is a perfect example. The band's keening, razor-sharp vocal harmonies and terse, electrifying instrumental interplay provide as exultant a kick as ever.
