Mountain Tracks Vol. 5, released in 2008, continued Yonder Mountain String Band's series of live recordings that had become an important part of their relationship with their devoted fan base. The Boulder, Colorado quartet — Jeff Austin, Adam Aijala, Dave Johnston, and Ben Kaufmann — had built their following through relentless touring and an improvisational approach to acoustic string band music that drew comparisons to the Grateful Dead as much as to traditional bluegrass. The Mountain Tracks series documented the spontaneous quality of their performances, capturing the extended jams and set-to-set continuity that defined the Yonder Mountain concert experience.
