Roundup, Vol. 1 is a 2005 compilation released by the Rarely Herd on their own Herd Records imprint (HR 1002), gathering highlights from the band's Pinecastle catalog of the 1990s. The source recordings feature the classic lineup—Jim Stack (guitar, lead vocals), Alan Stack (mandolin, fiddle, vocals), Dan Brooks (dobro, vocals), Calvin Leport (banjo), and Jeff Weaver (bass, vocals)—drawn from the sessions that produced their string of Pinecastle albums. The Athens County, Ohio band built a loyal festival following across that decade, and Roundup formalizes the best of that output for listeners coming to the group fresh, offering a convenient retrospective of one of the Midwest's most dependable traditional bluegrass acts.
