Muleskinner was an American bluegrass band, consisting of Clarence White (guitar, vocals), Peter Rowan (guitar/vocals), Bill Keith (banjo), Richard Greene (fiddle) and David Grisman (mandolin). Muleskinner was assembled to play on a television special with bluegrass originator Bill Monroe and his band in a old guard/new generation format. Due to a bus breakdown, Monroe was not able to make the taping and Muleskinner wound up playing the whole show. The recording of that performance was, for many years, a lost bluegrass legend before a copy was found and released. The band was happy enough with the results to reassemble to record the album "A Potpourri of Bluegrass Jam," but Clarence White, the best known member of the group due to his tenure in The Byrds, was killed in an automobile accident before the album's release and it failed to catch hold and quickly went out of print.
