This is a group only in the sense that since all the music they ever did together was recorded in one weekend in 1973. They'v inherited the band name from an album released in 1975 that, while never mainstream, has gotten "classic" (Ihate that word) status over the last 25+ years in a couple of genres (bluegrass, country rock, alternative). The band consisted of several really good musicians; Peter Rowan, David Grisman, John Kahn, Vassar Clemins, and Jerry Garcia. The album and the bands name is "Old and in the way"; if you have any liking for "old timey" music, give it a listen; it pre-dates "O Brother Where Art Thou" by a lot of years; I wore out several vinyl copies of it before it came out on CD; the first album was a selection of tunes from the three performances the band did in '73, about four years ago, everything that was recorded that weekend was put out on an additional two CD's; any one of the available CD's are worth a listen.
