Buddy Melton, the Balsam Range Fiddler who suffered a head injury in a farm related accident and subsequent surgery, is finally up and around but it’s still slow-going. The band’s spokesperson sent the following update on his condition and the new Balsam Range album currently in the recording process.
Well…As of Thursday…Buddy Melton is out of the hospital and seems to be doing very well. Sorry for the delay but it’s touch and go and we wanted him to get settled in peacefully. He started keeping food down consistently and it’s really jumpstarting his recovery. He looks fantastic and surprised us all by walking into the recording studio Thursday night as we started tracking. You could have knocked me over with a feather. He said he was very tired of being cooped up and wanted to get out and about. But also get involved in the project.. He put on his headphones got in his booth and sang the fire out of the scratch vocals. All of us, including Buddy, were all interested to see what was gonna happen when he sang.
