Window of Time is a 2002 album released by the Lonesome River Band on Doobie Shea Records (DS-CD 4006). The lineup features Sammy Shelor (banjo), Brandon Rickman (guitar, vocals), Jeff Parker (mandolin, vocals), Mike Hartgrove (fiddle), and Irl Hees (bass), a cohesive configuration that brought stability following years of personnel movement. The album reflects the group's continued commitment to a traditional bluegrass aesthetic—clean three-part harmonies, driving banjo rhythms, and fiddle-forward instrumental breaks—alongside original material. Recorded during Shelor's tenure as IBMA Banjo Player of the Year, Window of Time demonstrates why the Virginia band remained a reliable presence on the festival circuit through the early 2000s.
