With a warm tone to his voice and the traditional Bluegrass sound, Red Allen forged a career that spanned decades. From his traditional bluegrass early recordings, he experimented with a more polished Nashville- style sound in the later years. His warm voice brings a comfortable feel to his Bluegrass sound as he rambles from traditional 'grass tunes, to novelties such as "Ground Hog" as well as sacred such as "The Christian Life".
