This has become the epitome of a great band. I played bass with JD Crowe 4 years later to join Keith Whitley for nearly 9 years. I'd pretty much gotten away from music of any kind except for my 60s classic rock which is actually my forte. These guys played just this year at my local homecoming and I was totally blown away at the amount of talent on one stage. Since then I've listened to everything I can of these guys.
