Banjoist and producer Hugh Moore was a friend of Benny Martin, and produced his recordings, “The Big Tiger Roars Again (part 1 & 2)” in the late 1990’s. In addition, he has recorded and performed with other Bluegrass music greats, among them Earl Scruggs, Josh Graves, Vassar Clements, and Bobby Osborne. video is a COVID-19 project.
All of the musicians recorded in their own home studios and with their personal cameras. There were no studio sessions and the filming was done separately and remotely, as a collaboration between devotees of this classic Bluegrass band.
