Lively? Sprightly? Bluegrass Perfection? Yes to all of those. Tim Stafford & Thomm Jutz’s latest single sees them trading vocals back and forth as they ponder the iconic photographs of the last century and more.

Johnson looks like an upbeat young man with a guitar and not like the brooding bluesman with the cigarette dangling from his mouth we all know. We talked about other iconic photos that shaped American history, and this song fell in our lap.”
On the recording Tim and Thomm also provide the guitars, ably assisted by Ron Block (banjo), Tammy Rogers (fiddle), Mark Fain (bass) and Shaun Richardson (mandolin).

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
