Twenty-some odd years ago, Tony Trischka was pointing the way before anyone else even knew they wanted to head in that direction. This is music that influenced a new generation of musicians to re-think and re-draw the boundaries of roots-based bluegrass. Roots that run deep. And 'grass that keeps growing.' - from the liner notes by Tom Adams

Long unavailable, the legacy of Tony Trischka's 1985 album Hill Country has been kept alive by musicians and fans via carefully-guarded vinyl pressings and slowly-eroding cassette dubs. This remastered edition, complete with extensive new notes and a bonus track, restores to print a pivotal piece of bluegrass history. By investigating his roots in the tradition, maverick banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka crafted an album that revealed limitless potential for innovation within the boundaries of classic bluegrass - inspiring all those who heard it.

Featured performers include Sam Bush, Dudley Connell, Jerry Douglas, Béla Fleck, Del McCoury, Jerry McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Mark O'Connor, Sonny Osborne, Tony Rice, Eddie Stubbs, and more.
