​​​​

"NOT A FLOWER ON DOGWOOD FLATS: THE MUSIC OF JACK BUNCH & LAUREL COUNTY" is a collection of 15 field recordings made by the late great multi-instrumentalist in Kentucky, Jack Bunch. Recorded at his home in London, Kentucky between 2017 and 2019, the album captures the musical tradition of Laurel County which had been represented by many legends like Pete Steele, B.F. Shelton, Big Andy Whittaker, and Jack’s uncle, Henry Bunch. Jack Bunch was the one of few who inherited these hidden treasures to this generation, and in this record, he played his uncle Henry’s showpieces such as "Shortenin’ Bread” and "Not A Flower on Dogwood Flats”, as well as Jack’s own compositions "Little Dog Branch” and "Cowboy Special”.
