Though they no longer work as frequently as they once did, the Nashville Bluegrass Band remain one of the music’s most engaging presences, thanks to a deep affinity for roots and branches that goes beyond the typical allegiance to high, lonesome singing, breakneck tempos and incessant banjo rolls. Few have a stronger feel for the bluesy side of the style, expressed in staples like mandolinist Mike Compton’s take on “Sitting on Top of the World” or guitarist Pat Enright’s woeful “That’s Alright” — and that’s the Autry Inman song, not the better-known Arthur Crudup-by-way-of-Elvis number — or a better grasp of gospel quartets, or of in-the-groove fiddle tunes as rendered by the incomparable Stuart Duncan. And while Alan O’Bryant doesn’t sing as much as he used to, he’s gotten even slyer with the banjo, making him one of the wittiest players around. Absent a new release, there’s no better news than them making one of their not-frequent-enough in-town appearances.
