Long Time...Seldom Scene gathers an expanded Seldom Scene ensemble — Ben Eldridge, Dudley Connell, Fred Travers, Lou Reid, Ronnie Simpkins, and Rickie Simpkins — alongside guest vocalist Emmylou Harris and fiddler Randy Howard. The title plays on the band's own name as a long-time-no-see pun, appropriate for a band that has sustained itself through multiple lineup changes since its 1971 formation in Washington, D.C. Emmylou Harris has long been connected to the Seldom Scene, appearing on some of their most celebrated early recordings, and her return here as a guest situates this record within the longer arc of one of bluegrass's most durable performing institutions. The wide cast of contributors and the presence of Harris suggest a retrospective or anniversary character, though specific release details are absent from the catalog entry.
