Becky Buller Signs with Dark Shadow Recording

PRESCRIPTION BLUEGRASS IMAGE  -  BECKY BULLERDark Shadow Recording announces Becky Buller as the latest signed artist on the label.

Featuring a host of Bluegrass super-pickers and all-star vocalists, her twelve-song album will feature eleven original compositions. Buller’s first solo project in ten years is already underway, with Producer/Engineer Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band, Nedski & Mojo) at the helm.

Becky and I are longtime pals, and I’m simply thrilled that she is joining our DSR family for this project,” said Mougin. “We share a love for Bluegrass traditions, a determination for quality, and a common musical vision. I didn’t plan on making any “side-man/side-woman” projects on the label but when Becky told me about her plans for this record, I knew I wanted to be involved in a BIG way!”

Buller currently tours as vocalist/fiddler for Darin and Brooke Aldridge. As a songwriter, she’s had cuts by Rhonda Vincent, Ricky Skaggs, Doyle Lawson, and countless others. The list, a virtual who’s-who of Bluegrass royalty, cements her place as an important contributor to the genre. Combined with her unique vocal style and world-class fiddling, she can only be described as an unbelievable talent.

When asked about her choice to work on a new album with Dark Shadow Recording, she was quick to respond:  “So many great singers have recorded my songs; I will never quit getting giddy when that happens!  But it's exciting to be going back into the studio to sing some of my own stuff again...a few things I've had tucked away for years, a new one or two, maybe even a surprise!  Thanks to Mojo and Jana for inviting me to be part of their new label.  I hope I do them proud!  (And I hope you all like what you hear.)”

The album will be primarily Bluegrass in content, with a couple of old-time inspired songs, a couple of slightly more progressive tunes, an instrumental, and an a cappella gospel number. A release date has not been set.
