BLUE HIGHWAY TO RELEASE “SOUNDS OF HOME” AUGUST 23

FIRST COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL MATERIAL IN A DECADE

Rounder Records is pleased to announce the release of Blue Highway’s Sounds of Home on August 23.  The album arrives one long decade after Still Climbing Mountains, the band’s first all-original collection. 

Blue Highway has always been known for their ability to create striking original music that resounds with timeless bluegrass, but Sounds of Home is especially rich in the variety of directions that it reaches.

On Sounds Of Home, there’s an unmistakable confidence that can only come with years of shared music making.  Each track features a careful choice of instrumentation and arrangement that benefits the material and meaning.  Blue Highway also brings a thoughtful approach to their vocals – delivering trios, solos and duets that display a profound engagement with their repertoire.

...Each member is among the most distinguished performers on his instrument of choice!...

Having previously released 9 highly acclaimed albums, the members of Blue Highway – Tim Stafford (guitar, vocals), Wayne Taylor (lead vocals, bass), Shawn Lane (tenor vocals, guitar, mandolin, fiddle), Rob Ickes (Dobro, Scheerhorn acoustic slide guitar), and Jason Burleson(banjo, guitar, mandolin, bass vocals) – are some of the most accomplished and exciting musicians in bluegrass today.
