This rare 78 RPM release features Larry Lee (Pasake) and the Echo Valley Kinfolk performing the high-speed composition "Time Just Flies" on the elusive Ridge label (Catalog No. TA 401). Originating from the New Jersey and Delaware tri-state country circuit around early 1956, this side features blistering acoustic picking paired with a rapid, syncopated vocal hook describing the frantic passage of late-night hours.

By 1956, mainstream country music was fighting for survival against the onslaught of electrified rock 'n' roll. In the Mid-Atlantic region, traditional acoustic musicians responded by pushing tempos to their absolute limits. "Time Just Flies" illustrates this cultural tension perfectly. While utilizing the standard acoustic instrumentation of traditional bluegrass, the vocal delivery employs the distinct stuttered phrasing and frantic pacing that southern rockabilly artists used to capture the energy of post-war youth culture, making it an extraordinary regional artifact of musical evolution.

Larry Lee and his band were regulars on the eastern regional radio networks and were originally known as the Glen Mountain Boys before updating their name to fit the mid-1950s family-style broadcasting trends.
