Live in Holland is a concert recording by Joe Val and the New England Bluegrass Boys, captured during the European touring circuit that brought American bluegrass to enthusiastic festival audiences. Joe Val — born Joseph Valiante in Boston — was one of the music's finest high lonesome tenors, a sound developed not in the mountains but in New England, where a committed folk and bluegrass scene nurtured musicians far from the genre's Appalachian roots. Val's mandolin playing was accomplished and direct, and his voice had the keening quality that defines the most affecting bluegrass singing. The record stands as documentation of the music's reach beyond its regional origins.
