    the one that put Norman on the map
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014*

At least for the recording buying public! Norman was well-known as a highly regarded sideman, but this CD put him out front and center. A beautiful mix of old-timey tunes and originals, tastefully rendered. He can play flashily if he wants to... but he doesn't want to LOL! What he plays is always in service of the song. Norman Blake is a true American original, and really, a curator of a genre of music that doesn't get a lot of attention. The stripped down performances - solo or duo - really focus on the tunes, and listening to this music takes me to another time. If you're interested in this style of music and guitar playing, this CD belongs in a small group of recordings you should definitely have. Buy it and enjoy!

    Norman Blake's mastery of flatpicking shines like a new dime
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2017*

From the opening notes of "Walking Cane", Norman Blake's mastery of flatpicking shines like a new dime.  His ability to keep the melody in view while picking around it is nothing short of amazing and leads one to wonder just how many fingers are on his left hand.  Surely he has more than the usual four and a thumb.  He doew a nice job on the vocals, to boot.  I highly recommend "Whiskey Before Breakfast" to anyone interested in the flatpicking genre.

    Old Time Six String Religion
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2002*

First of all, don't call it bluegrass.  It's not bluegrass, because it's just guitar -- on most of the tracks, just one guitar -- and bluegrass is played by bands, with bass, banjo, mandolin and fiddle being a pretty common outfit.But it is flat-picking, the guitar style associated with bluegrass and with greats like Doc Watson.  And oh, is this flat-picking!  There aren't many that could claim to be in Blake's league, even back in 1976 when he cut this, his first album.  He plays a very versatile, very expressive guitar that is very traditional country and very not corn pone.As on most of his later albums, Blake records a mixture of his own compositions and traditional pieces, some songs and some pure instrumentals.  When you need an antidote to the depressingly bland ga-ga on the radio, buy Norman Blake, and start with this one.
