The album was produced by Glen Duncan, Bobby Osborne and Boj (Bobby Osborne, Jr.) and contains new and old songs that will surely delight Bobby’s fans worldwide and celebrate his impressive 60 year career.
Highlights from New Bluegrass and Old Heartaches include the first single release, I’m Going Back To The Mountain written by Jake Landers who also penned The Old Oak Tree.
