2018 - Today, with the release of the album A Tribute to the Kentucky Colonels, living legend, mandolin player and singer Roland White celebrates a trailblazing period of his storied career with new recordings of songs and tunes that, as a member of the Kentucky Colonels, he helped make classic a half century ago. The iconic Kentucky Colonels were much revered, particularly on the west coast where they were based, their influence far exceeding their short tenure as an active band (1957 to 1966). A Tribute to the Kentucky Colonels is a collection of hand-picked favorites, 12 in all, that comprise an ultimate tribute to a ground-breaking era in the bluegrass music genre. Recording took place at Crossroads Studios, Arden, North Carolina, with Scott Barnett at the controls, at TJ Tunes, Nashville, Tennessee, with Thomm Jutz – on two tracks he was assisted by Andy Kern – and at The Rec Room, Nashville, with Ben Surratt.
