Mountain Tracks Vol. 1 cover

Mountain Tracks: Volume 1 is a live album by Yonder Mountain String Band, released on their own Frog Pad Records in 2001. It was recorded at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado, on 29 and 30 September 2000, and was the first of a series of live releases; it followed the band’s 1999 studio album Elevation. The band had formed in December 1998 and plays here as Adam Aijala (guitar), Jeff Austin (mandolin), Ben Kaufmann (bass) and Dave Johnston (banjo), all four singing.

The six tracks run from the 3:06 opener, Carter Stanley’s “Sharecropper’s Son,” to Austin’s “Keep on Going” (12:05) and “Snow on the Pines” (14:36), the traditional “My Gal,” and a closing 18-minute segment that moves from J. J. Cale’s “If You’re Ever in Oklahoma” into the fiddle tune “Elzic’s Farewell” and back. “Whiskey Before Breakfast” is also on the album.
