Williams & Clark Track-By-Track

Thursday, I got to record an interview with the Williams & Clark Expedition in anticipation of a Track-By-Track show built around their newest release.

Their current album is titled Brand New Set of Blues. Kimberly Williams, Blake Williams, Bobby Clark, and Wayne Southards joined me in studio to talk about the new disc, which was released May 15.

Most of the songs on the new CD are original to the group. But as good as the songs are, and as nice as the harmonies may be, what really knocks me out about this project is the instrumental work. Blake Williams is a veteran of such groups as Lester Flatt's Nashville Grass and Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys. Both Blake and Bobby Clark spent a decade or more in Mike Snider's band on the Grand Ole Opry. For my money, they've never sounded better. Of course, the vocals are really fine.

Look for the TBT sometime in late July/early August, but in the meantime, get this CD. You'll enjoy it.
