Grascals World Premiere on XM!

Yesterday, Terry Eldredge, Terry Smith, and Aaron McDaris of the Grascals visited our studio to record an interview which we will play when we bring you the world premiere of their new CD, Keep on Walkin'.

That's right--I said world premiere!

The new CD is to be released on July 15, but it will air for the first time on radio--anywhere--July 1 at 4 PM ET on Bluegrass Junction.

You've got to hear this album. In my opinion--and I even say this on the show--it is their best album to date. It's solid, straight-ahead bluegrass, for the most part, and the song selection is fabulous. The title track, written by Jamie Johnson and Charley Stefl, is one of the finest songs I've ever heard, in any genre of music. Other favorites of mine (at the moment) are "Feelin' Blue," "The Sad Wind Sighs" (Vince Gill guests on that one), and "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line." You may have seen the guys do some of these on stage already, but I know you'll have to get the CD when it comes out.

It was a great visit with El, Smitty, and Boo (as they affectionately call Aaron)--as always, there was a lot of laughter, but the guys provided some great insight as well.

We're always honored to get to premiere a new CD. It's especially an honor to get to premiere one by the reigning Entertainers of the Year. Thanks to Rounder Records and the Grascals for letting this happen.
