Rebel to re-release classic Reno & Smiley album

Rebel Records is set to re-issue a classic bluegrass recording on June 27 when they release Together Again from Don Reno & Red Smiley. This is a re-mastered CD version of an LP that was originally released in late 1971, during a time when Don Reno was performing with Bill Harrell after Red had left the group. The LP was officially billed as being from Don Reno & Red Smiley, with Bill Harrell and the Tennessee Cut-Ups.

Kudos to the folks at Rebel for their ongoing efforts to preserve and reissue so much valuable music, much of it unavailable for some time. Keep an eye on The Bluegrass Blog for more information about Rebel’s aggressive plans for reissues in the near future.

[...] In addition to the Reno & Smily reunion CD from 1971 which we mentioned earlier, Rebel Records had two other releases out this week. [...]
