Notes
Album line, contains Vietnam references. Bluegrass group from Richmond, Virginia. The back of the LP said: "the big break came when the band was booked by Uncle Sam for a USO tour of overseas military installations. 'A real back-breaker, but a ball all the way', as George puts it. That trip took the Partners to Japan, Korea, South Viet Nam, Alaska, and points in between. They were away from home over five months. They say the GI applause is still ringing over Nam's rice paddies. And, the Partners are already thinking about going back" . The back cover also included images of the band performing on Hamburger Hill. [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
