The Return of Balsam Range

Our August run of the best of the Studio Special series continues this week with a show which was originally broadcast in April featuring Balsam Range. It returns Friday morning at 8:00 ET.

One of the "up-and-coming" bands in the music, these guys combine fine harmony and fabulous playing to produce music that's fresh and engaging. Their current album, Marching Home, was produced by Jerry Salley, who did a masterful job of pulling together all the talents of the group into a terrific debut CD.

As good as the album is, however, their performance on the Studio Special was very impressive, too. Listen especially for the in-studio version of "Blue Mountain," which finds lead singer Buddy Melton delivering an emotion-packed vocal which I think rivals the quality of that found on the record. That song, by the way, has become highly requested by our listeners on Request Monday in recent weeks.

By the way, our Studio Special with Dailey & Vincent airs one more time this afternoon at 3:00 ET. And, for a complete listing of all Studio Special times, as well as our August schedule, follow this link.
