NEW CD FROM Jerry Butler and band mate John Wade
I am proud to tell you about our new Blue Circle Records CD Haulin Grass. John and I have been hard at work in Franklin, TN in Tom T and Ms Dixie Hall's studio putting our touch to this trucker influenced project. The selection of music includes a Del Reeves classic "Looking at the World Through a Windshield", John Denver's "Back Home Again", and three original songs penned by Tom T. and Ms Dixie. Other tracks include "The Road I'm On" by Steve Thomas and Dale Puckett, "Worth The Ride" by Mike Evans and traditional Bluegrass with "18 Wheels". Also included on the project is one of Lester Flatt's old tunes "Backing To Birmingham" and as an added track there's a version as maybe Lester would have sung it.
John and I were joined by some of the very best in Bluegrass Music with Kenny Ingram on banjo, Ron Stewart on fiddle, Chris Harris on mandolin, Matt Leadbetter on dobro, and vocal contributions by Steve Gulley and Melissa Lawrence. We appreciate the engineering work and many hours by Troy Engle and all the folks at Good Home Grown Music for making this happen.
We are looking forward to it's release this summer and hope you will be too.
