Title
Bullsboro Bluegrass Band
Description
In 1971 in Newnan, Georgia, Donnie Lee and the late Joe Partridge along with Tommy McKoon and Junior Bundy formed a bluegrass band which was to become Bullsboro. Originally known as the "L & P Express," the named was changed to "Bullsboro" upon learning "Bullsboro" was the original name of Newnan.
The early 1970's featured many small bluegrass festivals throughout the region. Guitarist Mike Steed and mandolin player Johnny Jackson joined the band in 1973 at one of those festivals, the Cobb County Bluegrass Festival in Marietta, Georgia. A few years later Joe Partridge had to drop out of the music world for a time. (Joe's comeback was partnering with Mike Flemming and Eddie Turner as a founding members of the popular regional band, Brushfire). Partridge was replaced by Victor
"Butch" Adams whose banjo filled out the quartet known as Bullsboro and the band performed nearly eight years in this configuration. This band recorded a live performance album on the Atteiram label in 1978.
