Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road's Country Grass LP finds the bluegrass group partnering with country icons like Crystal Gayle, Lee Greenwood, Lynn Anderson, T.G. Sheppard, and John Conlee to put new twists on old songs. The first single, "Runnin' Water," features Grammy Award winners the Kentucky Headhunters, and many of the cuts topped the Billboard charts in their days -- songs like "Ready for the Times to Get Better," "Dixie Road," "Do You Want To Go To Heaven," and "Rose Garden." Jordan even put her stamp on Conway Twitty's "Boogie Grass Band" with help from bluegrass singer/songwriter Ronnie Reno, who also hosts Reno's Old Time Music. Collaboration was the key.
“Bluegrass and country tied the knot in the early years of music,” Jordan says. “Then, somewhere along the way, they both took different paths. Today, I see the new country taking yet another path, and I find that country fans are returning to their roots through bluegrass. That’s what Country Grass is about -- reintroducing classic country and bluegrass. It was an honor to work with so many of the country legends I have loved and admired throughout my lifetime. I believe this project brings it all full circle and I’m excited about the possibilities this brings to us all.”
