Confederation is a collaborative acoustic and country-folk album featuring celebrated banjo player Larry McNeely alongside guitarists Geoff Levin and Jack Skinner. The album combines elements of bluegrass, folk, country and instrumental Americana, highlighting the musicianship and interplay between three accomplished performers.

McNeely was widely respected in bluegrass circles for his innovative banjo work, and this release showcases intricate picking, tasteful arrangements and a relaxed, melodic approach that appeals to fans of acoustic string music. The album’s blend of instrumental passages and vocal performances makes it an enjoyable listen for collectors of 1970s folk-country recordings and American roots music.

While not a mainstream commercial release, Confederation has appeal among bluegrass enthusiasts and collectors of specialist acoustic music, particularly those interested in banjo-led recordings from the period.
