Bluegrass on TV

Five Songs by Cumberland River Band included on two upcoming episodes of  FX TV Show JUSTIFIED

As we announced last month, the FX Network’s hit TV show, JUSTIFIED will include original songs by Kentucky bluegrass group, CUMBERLAND RIVER BAND. Since that announcement, the show has added additional songs from the band that will be featured on the following episodes:

Episode 4 “For Blood or Money”  airing TONIGHT Wednesday, March 2, 2011 will feature an instrumental version of the band’s original song, “Justified”

Episode 9 “Brother’s Keeper” airing Wednesday, April 6, 2011 will feature four songs: “Ridge Runner,” “Wild Berries,” “My Dad,” and“Kentucky Mountain Home.”

JUSTIFIED is the brainchild of Producer GRAHAM YOST who has certainly welcomed the CUMBERLAND RIVER BAND into the fold saying, "From the moment a bunch of us writers and producers heard the Cumberland River Band perform in Harlan, I thought we should somehow get them involved in the show. Their music has all the dexterity and intricacy you expect from bluegrass, but it also has an emotional drive, an urgency, that I just knew would fit well with what we're trying to do on "Justified."
