I've been digging through my lp and cassette collection looking for Shelton recordings that I haven't listened to in years. Today, I listened to Jim and Jesse's "In the Tradition". If you're a fan of Allen Shelton this is an essential recording. "You are the one", "Hard Hearted", "I'll love nobody but you", "Bringing in the Georgia Mail", one great J and J tune after the other with Allen's awesome banjo on every cut. Great stuff!!

Tablature: Are You Missing Me Linked by Jacob Underwood 11 years ago: This is my own solo for "Are You Missing Me," but it's definitely an Allen Shelton inspired solo.
	Home Sweet Home - Jacob Underwood Linked by Jacob Underwood 12 years ago: "Home Sweet Home" played out of open F. I used a classic Allen Shelton ending.
	Whispering - Jacob Underwood Linked by Jacob Underwood 12 years ago: This has been one of my favorite tunes to play for quite awhile. I've always loved listening to Allen Shelton's playing.

MP3: (untitled) Linked by darylearl 12 years ago: Dobro brand 5 string dobro. Fun instrument to play!
MP3: When You're Smiling Linked by Jacob Underwood 12 years ago: This was originally a big band song, made famous by Louis Armstrong. I tried to play this a lot like Allen Shelton, but I changed the chord progression a little bit. I stole the intro from Mike Scott
