2008 - There have already been several Country Gentlemen tribute albums, but the neat thing about this release is that the group not only features three original members of that famous band (plus Charlie Waller’s son Randy), but they have wisely avoided repeating any of the old group’s recordings, which no one is likely to improve on or match. Instead they have chosen a good program of songs that the original group could have, but didn’t record. Nice versions here of GRAVE IN THE VALLEY, SUNDOWN AND SORROW....

2015 - (Dave) Adkins and (Edgar) Loudermilk are two powerful singers, and they have a strong record here on a dozen songs, all but two of them originals. Loudermilk plays bass and shares in the vocal lead and harmony work, while Adkins also sings lead and harmony. The backup instrumental work features Jeff Autry on guitar, Chris Wade on banjo, and Glen Crain on dobro.

2021 - It may not be too much to say that Darin and Brooke Aldridge are the reigning king and queen of bluegrass. This Life We’re Livin’ brims over with the piercing beauty of Darin and Brooke Aldridge’s ethereal harmonies, their ability to inhabit songs with emotional depth, and their musical and lyrical passion, intimacy, and honesty. It’s certainly one of the best albums of this year. Instrumentalists include Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Mark Fain (bass), and Ron Block (banjo)…feat. The Oak Ridge Boys on HE'S GETTIN' ME READY

2018 - Consequently, if the band wants to rest on their considerable laurels by replaying their greatest hits with the Atlanta Pops Orchestra Ensemble in tow, few fans would argue that they’ve earned the right to do so. That said, Mountain Overture equates to the Balsams’ best of, given the fact that the symphony and its strings are far from intrusive, and on some songs, hardly noticeable at all. That’s fine of course; these songs stand on their own and any opportunity for a reboot is one worth revisiting.

2021 - Balsam Range is a band that keeps up with the times not by pushing the game forward, but by pushing their game forward. They’re not reinventing the bluegrass wheel, but their constant refinements of their personal bluegrass mission statement, in this reviewer’s opinion, are just as impressive. The album includes the band's four most recent singles, each of which topped the bluegrass charts, and a new track heading for radio. Balsam Range is Buddy Melton (fiddle, lead and tenor vocals); Darren Nicholson (mandolin, octave mandolin, lead vocals, baritone and low tenor vocals); Dr. Marc Pruett (banjo); Tim Surrett (bass, dobro, baritone and lead vocals); and Caleb Smith (guitar, lead & baritone vocals).

Album von 2012 der fünf Musiker von Hollywood County, NC. mit 13 starken Titeln wie OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN - BETTER DAYS und ONE

2019 - comprised of Ronnie Bowman (guitar & vocals), Kenny Smith (guitar), Don Rigsby (mandolin & vocals) and Brian Fesler (banjo), Band of Ruhks is a supergroup that straddles the line between bluegrass favorite and roots music trailblazer with ease. The band’s sophomore album (produced by Ben Isaacs (& bass)), and first for Rebel Records, is a showcase of the group’s love for bluegrass, while greeting the future with a sneaky grin. Appropriately entitled Authentic, the album is filled with nearly all originals - feat. Rob Ickes (resophonic guitar) and Aubrey Haynie (fiddle)... enthält eine großartige Version von Don Reno & Red Smileys THERE'S ANOTHER BABY WAITING FOR ME DOWN THE LINE

2015 - With so many groups forming and changing personnel these days (especially in the Winter months), it’s hard to work up much real excitement until one or two of the new bands establishes itself as a group to be reckoned with. But THE RUHKS OF BLUEGRASS have created a great deal of interest, and it’s easy to see why, with its members including Ronnie Bowman, Kenny Smith and Don Rigsby Longtime fans of the band will recognize the trio as one of the finest versions of the Lonesome River Band...13 Songs wie COAL MINING MAN - LOST HIGHWAY oder das starke GOOD TIME MOUNTAIN MAN geschrieben von Chris Stapleteon & Ronnie Bowman
