Studio Special with Paul Williams & The Victory Trio

Sometimes when life is really busy, it's great to settle back and reflect on the more important things. There are many ways to do that, of course, but one of the best is to listen to relaxing and inspiring music such as that played by Paul Williams and the Victory Trio.

Here's your chance to do just that. Friday morning at 8:00 ET, our Studio Special with Paul debuts on Bluegrass Junction.

This is some seriously good bluegrass gospel! Paul and his fine group came by our studio a few days ago to record this show, and I was amazed at the ease and confidence with which they played and sang. The harmonies were wonderful and the playing was top-notch. The tunes they played came from Paul's new album, What a Journey.

I was fascinated by Paul's reminiscences of his years in the business. As you may not be aware, Paul has a 60+-year history in the music, having been a major player in groups like The Lonesome Pine Fiddlers and Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys. He's a first-generation pioneer with a lot to say about how this music came to be.

It's a really special show...be sure and catch it. If you can't hear the debut broadcast Friday, catch one of the rebroadcasts. The full schedule is listed here.

Paul Williams is fantastic, he not only is a great entertainer, but a super nice person. He knows who he sings about and has been a hero of mine for years. I am so glad that he is on the Studio Special this week. Thanks Kyle for bringing the best to Bluegrass Junction
