Bluegrass Time, released on Rebel in 1973, is an album by Cliff Waldron and the New Shades of Grass, conceived as a tribute to the first generation of bluegrass musicians. Waldron — the guitarist and singer who had helped popularize 'Fox on the Run' during his late-1960s partnership with banjoist Bill Emerson — led the New Shades of Grass through a Washington, D.C.-area career that balanced traditional material with a progressive openness drawn from the region's fertile scene. The set revisits standards of the music's founding era with the clean ensemble work and strong lead singing that were Waldron's hallmarks. Bluegrass Time reflects the mid-Atlantic strain of bluegrass that prized precise arrangement and close harmony, and it stands as a respectful nod from one generation of players to the pioneers who shaped the form.
