It took awhile, but we're finally able to offer you the chance to check out last year's Hillside Album Hour in the privacy of your own home, car, headphones, or wherever you like to groove on tunes. It took two discs to fit all the music but we captured every last note and packaged them up for your listening pleasure. So, click on the link below to head on over to the company store and get your dose of the good stuff.

Well, they said it couldn't be done, but The Waybacks are returning to MerleFest for our 6th Hillside Album Hour! This is starting to become an addictive habit.

Our run of past transgressions, in order of appearance, began with Led Zeppelin II and rocked on with Sticky Fingers, Abbey Road, Eat A Peach, and Are You Experienced. Along the way, we've been aided by a dazzling array of talented partners-in-crime, from Emmylou Harris to Elvis Costello, John Cowan to Joan Osborne, Susan Tedeschi to Sarah Dugas, Sam Bush to Jens Kruger to Jerry Douglas to Jim Lauderdale, and many, many, more.

For this year's model, we're digging into the vaults for something we think is pretty special. We hope you will, too.

In keeping with tradition, we'll be posting a series of oblique, obscure, and otherwise impossible-to-solve clues for you all to attempt to decipher. So unless you're incredibly gifted at breaking cryptic codes, you might just have to wait for the downbeat at the Hillside Stage to find out what we have in store.

But that shouldn't stop you from trying. Fabulous prizes beyond thought await the winner. Make your guesses in the spaces below. Guess early and often, but don’t offer the same guess more than once – there are no bonus points for that.
