The album – the band’s first in seven years – debuted on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at #3 and at #1 on the Country, Bluegrass and Folk Albums Charts, a career best for the band.
Since signing with Rounder Records at the age of 14, Krauss has sold in excess of 12 million albums and garnered 27 Grammy Awards, making her the most awarded singer, the most awarded female artist and tied second for the most awarded artist overall in Grammy history.
