Background notes
Archive material and source history
Sam Bush started playing mandolin in the 1960s, listening to Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs. He formed the Sam Bush Band in 1971 with Kenny Baker on guitar, Alan Munde on banjo, and Todd Phillips on bass. The group played a lot of shows, though they had some financial trouble and lineup changes along the way.
In the late 1970s, they put out albums like 'Short Stories' in 1979 and 'Late As Usual' in 1980. These records mixed traditional bluegrass with original songs and some jazz and rock elements. Bush's mandolin playing and singing became a recognizable part of their sound, though not everyone in the bluegrass world liked the experiments.
Their song 'A Better Man' came out on 'Late As Usual' in 1987 and became one of their best-known tracks. Other songs like 'Same Ol' River' and 'All Night Radio' show the band's range from ballads to more driving tunes.
