A neat and expansive progressive bluegrass piece featuring an arrangement that has evolved to incorporate the lightness of acoustics.
This album was recorded after a change in line-up, and is centered around a dynamic, acoustic-based performance, smoothly shifting between elements of traditional bluegrass and country rock, creating a work that stands out for its precise ensemble.
"Out to Lunch" is an album that captures Country Gazette's evolution in sound. Following Byron Berline's departure, the band's reorganization resulted in a more acoustically focused sound, which is particularly striking. Under the direction of producer Jim Dickson, traditional songs blend seamlessly with contemporary approaches, resulting in an album that clearly demonstrates the band's position as "progressive bluegrass." The rawness of the recording, which avoids excessive embellishment, is also appealing, making this a lasting work that captures the vitality of the acoustic scene of the time.
