Rounder Records has announced the release of The Famous Lefty Flynn’s, by the Grascals. This is the fourth album by one of America’s most respected and celebrated bluegrass bands.
Coming on the heels of their last album, SPBGMA’s 2009 Album of the Year Keep On Walkin, the new album features a range of songs from a cover of the Monkees Last Train to Clarksville to Give Me Jesus, with stops along the way for intriguing story songs and some outstanding originals. Newest Grascals member, Kristin Scott Benson who is IBMA’s 2008 Banjo Player of the Year, joins the band for what Rounder Records suggests may be their best album yet.
The stirring vocals of the band’s three lead singers, Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson, and Terry Smith, combined with the group’s instrumental virtuosity, and flawless song selection all play a part in the musical and critical heights the group has attained – Rounder Records.
