After a three year hiatus from recording, the band’s fourth and final Vetco LP was released in 1978.
“I’ll vote at least two prize ribbons to the Hotmud Family on this, their latest LP. I don’t know of any band that can do such a superb job spanning that sometimes large chasm between Appalachian old-time and bluegrass, and still maintain the traditional integrity of each… the versatility of the musicians is apparent… the selection of tunes is top notch… the trios and quartets are quite polished with a style that is unique to this band.”
Bluegrass Unlimited
