We’re so thankful to the fans, to the DJs and everyone who helped take ‘True Grass’ to the top. My good friend and True Grass songwriter David Stewart felt we were the right band to record this song and carry the torch for Traditional music. We were honoured and blessed that we got to be part of such a great message –  Lorraine Jordan.

True Grass features fan favourites Junior Sisk and Danny Paisley on the thought-provoking track which asks the question, ‘why can’t Bluegrass just be true grass again?’ The song has sparked the True Grass Movement, which is fuelled by the dynamic singers commitment to keep the traditional style alive which was made famous by genre legends like Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers.

Tune in this week as the “Female Vocalist of the Year” winner talks about the new project, and the movement the song has generated (check local listings). Bluegrass fans can also catch Jordan on a special edition of Bluegrass Ridge Radio, which will be featured on Bluegrass Unlimited’s official website through the end of the week (listen HERE).

The No. 1 hit is the lead single from Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road’s latest project True Grass Again, released earlier this year. Fans can catch the chart toppers December 5-8 in scenic Pigeon Forge, where they will host the annual Bluegrass Christmas in the Smokies Festival.

Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road – True Grass

11 Apr, 18 by Greg McGrath

True GrassLorraine Jordan & Carolina Road release their highly anticipated single, True Grass (Why Can’t Bluegrass Just Be True Grass Again) via Pinecastle Records. Featuring lead vocals from Blue Grass favourites Junior Sisk, Danny Paisley and tenor vocals from Randy Graham, the track also marks Carolina Road lead singer Tommy Long’s triumphant return after a battle with throat cancer. Fans can buy and stream the full song here.

Even though I have dabbled in other styles, it’s always been true Blue Grass for me and my band. We play it with a fresh approach and drive it hard. We are carrying twin fiddles (Josh Goforth and Matt Hooper) now and this song has them all over it. Ben Greene, the legendary banjo player for the band, laid down some great hard-driving banjo. I brought in some heavy-hitters and was glad Tommy could lead the song off. Junior Sisk, Danny Paisley, Randy Graham and I joined in and it’s powerful – Lorraine Jordan.

True Grass serves as the lead single from Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road’s upcoming album, set for release later this year. Carrying a traditional flair, the song features thought-provoking lyrics like why can’t Blue Grass just be true grass again, which will remind fans of the genre’s heritage and how it evolved. Written by David Stewart, the track includes a catchy melody with world-class instrumentation. IBMA winner and SPBGMA Female Vocalist of the Year recipient Lorraine Jordan adds harmony vocals with some of Blue Grass music’s most prominent names.

The upcoming album marks the follow-up to the award-winning band’s critically acclaimed Country Grass. Featuring original classic country artists singing lead on their biggest hits, the star-studded collection features collaborations with The Kentucky Headhunters, Lee Greenwood, Crystal Gayle, Marty Raybon and more. The project was also re-packaged in 2018 with the viral remake of “Seminole Wind” featuring John Anderson which was spotlighted on Rolling Stone.

As the touring season begins to enter into high gear, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road will be hitting the road playing festivals and venues throughout North America. On select shows they will also be teaming with country legend Eddy Raven for the popular “Country Grass Show.” Carolina Road served as the backing band for Raven’s latest album, All Grassed Up, where the 8-time country chart-topper re-created his biggest hits, Blue Grass style.

An Interview With Eddy Raven.

7 Apr, 18 by Greg McGrath

All Grassed UpThis month we catch up with Eddy Raven who has just released a new CD with Lorraine Jordan called All Grassed Up. Over the years, Eddy has released 8 No. 1 hits, along with another 14 Top Ten singles, while being award 30 ASCAP songwriter awards.

All Grassed Up features Eddy performing some of his biggest hits, bluegrass style, along with some new material as well. All Grassed Up also includes songs the chart-topping singer/songwriter has written for other artists.  The backing band for the project is award-winning band, Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road.

What were your early music influences?
My Dad was a blues guitar player from south Georgia. He was a really good player and played guitar with a guy named Rex Griffin who had a song called Last Letter.
A lot of my musical influence was my Dad playing guitar around the house and showing me a couple of chords. My Mom was from Louisiana so there was a lot of Cajun influence from her side of the family. I’ve been influenced by a lot of things, and always liked Buddy Holly and Johnny Horton.

What age did you first start writing music?
I got my first guitar when I was around 7 years old, and around 11, it kind of hit me that I knew a bit about playing. I couldn’t play anybody else’s music, so I started writing my own.

What inspires you these days to write music?
Being a writer and being in the music business is a gift and sometimes you can’t do with it, and you can’t do without it. I never wanted to be famous, I just wanted to be successful with what I was doing. Sometimes a song will stay with me forever like Thank God For Kids. It took 9 or 10 years, and the label didn’t like it or want to put it out on me, until the Oak Ridge Boys did it. After that it just broke out like crazy.

You have an incredibly varied musical background. It incorporates many genres; all are quite successful too. What brings you to Bluegrass music?
I got a phone call from Lorraine Jordan one day. She said, “I want to cut ‘I Got Mexico,” and I said OK. She said she wanted me to sing on it with her band, Carolina Road. We did a video and started getting some action on it. The band was so good and the players are so good in bluegrass that it worked so naturally, so we decided to do a whole album of my songs. Trying to decide on a title, I said I had one, but I’d have to write it… All Grassed Up. It needed to be a tribute to Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley and people like Skaggs who keep pushing the music. I called my buddy David Stewart, we wrote the song and it came out good.

All I can say is ‘Holy Smokes.’ What a great CD. I have a bunch of listeners that are always interested in our older country done up bluegrass style. Well this CD has that and more. His country hits done bluegrass style are fantastic – Dick Deno at WWIS Radio.

Garrett Newton – Young Heart Old Soul

11 Mar, 17 by Greg McGrath

Young Heart Old SoulGarrett Newton’s debut album Young Heart Old Soul is now available on Pinecastle Records. The album is a real quality production that is sure to be well-respected in the bluegrass community. When one considers that Newton is not even 18 years old, the project is an even more impressive feat. The first single from the album “Country Poor and Country Proud” is already playing on radio station nationwide.

Young Heart Old Soul on iTunes.

Garrett has such an appreciation for old school bluegrass, I’m sure he’s had dreams of seeing Earl, Don or Sonny on stage, or seeing Ralph when he still played hard-driving, three finger banjo. And rest assured, Garrett knows banjo language throughout and first names of our first generation banjo heroes resonate with him quickly. You can hear a little of all those mentioned and others in his playing style – Joe Mullins.

Newton is a gifted young banjo player from Eastern North Carolina. At a young age, he began attending local bluegraGarrett Newtonss picking sessions and quickly became enamoured with the traditional bluegrass sound. He has devoted significant time to learning the history and absorbing the recordings of the first generation of bluegrass artists and it clearly shows in the style and drive of his banjo playing.

Several years ago, Newton approached Lorraine Jordan at a performance and asked to play banjo for her. Jordan was so impressed with the young man that she took him under her wing and began to feature him on Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road tour dates. Jordan also helped Newton to form his own touring outfit The Garrett Newton Band.

TG Sheppard Do You Want To Go To Heaven?

18 Feb, 16 by Greg McGrath

TGSheppardHere is a new venture into bluegrass music by well know country music stalwart TG Sheppard.

According to his website he has always had an unstoppable passion for music. This passion along with 21 number one hits and being ranked among the top 100 country artists of all time has made him one of the most popular live performers on tour today.

Sheppard dropped out of high school and at the age of 15 ran away from home to become involved in the music industry in Memphis, Tennessee.

William Browder, as he was then known, first recorded for Atco Records as Brian Stacy in 1966. He later changed his name to TG Sheppard to begin a singing career with a rival label while still working as an executive for RCA Records.

His first hit was the song “Devil in the Bottle“, which became a No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart and became a Top 60 Pop hit in 1975.

Here he teams up with Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road in a music video called Do You Wanna Go To Heaven?

Country Grass Debuts Number 2 on Billboard

4 Jul, 15 by Greg McGrath

Country GrassLorraine Jordan & Carolina Road’s brand new album, Country Grass, has debuted at #6 on the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart. The award-winning Bluegrass group teamed up with some of Country music’s top acts including Crystal Gayle, Lee Greenwood, Lynn Anderson, The Kentucky Headhunters, T.G. Sheppard, Eddy Raven, John Conlee, Marty Raybon and the late Jim Ed Brown, on what would become his final recording. The album was also the highest ranking debut on the chart for the week.

Country Grass is fuelled by the lead single, ” Runnin’ Water,” which is a collaboration with Grammy award-winning band, The Kentucky Headhunters. The song recently debuted at #25 on Bluegrass Unlimited’s National Survey. The video for the song was shot on-site where The Kentucky Headhunters have recorded the majority of their top videos.

Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road started off 2015 on a high note, taking home three awards at the 42nd Annual SPBGMA (The Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America) Convention & Awards Show earlier this year. With Lorraine receiving top honors as “Female Vocalist of the Year,” Ben Greene winning “Banjo Player of the Year,” and the group collectively taking home “Song of the Year,” the group has established themselves as one of the top acts in the genre.

What the Media is Saying:

Each legend brings something different and each track blends well with a traditional bluegrass style. It’s a concept that serves the music well. – ParcBench

Fans of traditional country and bluegrass will certainly appreciate Country Grass – Roughstock.

This project showcases great voices, great musicianship, and great songs; songs that are so engrained in us as is, that re-imagining them the way that Jordan and her group have done is worthy of a standing ovation. In an era today where the roots seem too often be forgotten, Country Grass is a perfect look back that reminds us where country music came from – One Stop Country.

There’s a lot more to be said for this album, but I think I can sum things up a simple observation; if you prefer your country without the cowboy hats and rhinestones, and your bluegrass traditional, then this is a fine place to start – Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association.

Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road – Country Grass

27 Jun, 15 by Greg McGrath

Country GrassLorraine Jordan & Carolina Road have released their new CD Country Grass on Pinecastle Records. This is a new sound inspired by country traditions.

Country Grass is a musical collaboration, motivated by the new audiences attending bluegrass festivals. Many of these fans discovered bluegrass music because traditional country is hard to find, so Country Grass was born.

Take country classics, add acoustic instruments, and invite the original lead vocalist to sing on the songs. Preliminary audience response to performing some of the tracks has been outstanding.

Some of the original artists are on board for a Country Grass tour to complement other marketing efforts, which include a video with the Kentucky Headhunters performing “Runnin’ Water,” and a 2015 scheduled show with Eddy Raven.

We are excited about this one-of-a-kind project, where bluegrass and country music cross paths in the Country Grass. This compilation album from some of the most well-known names in traditional country and the finest bluegrass pickers around will have folks dancin’ barefoot on the back roads – Lorraine Jordan.

Bluegrass and country music were united like marriage partners in the early days, but in time, the two genres were separated. Classic country music and bluegrass music still fit together well. This project ties the knot between the two again. When the bluegrass instrumentation and harmonies are put with the classic country hits and the country artist is singing the lead vocal, you get Country Grass – Bill Conger Bluegrass Unlimited
