Old and in the Way was an all-star bluegrass group in the 1970s. The group performed traditional tunes such as "Pig in a Pen" as well as bluegrass-flavoured versions of The Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" and Peter Rowan's "Panama Red".
Old and in the Way's debut album Old and in the Way which was released in 1975 was the top selling bluegrass album for decades. The group, sans Jerry Garcia and John Kahn, released a reunion album in 2002, called Old and in the Gray.
