Release Notes:
I've just completed a new record with some great friends.
After the west coast run, Jon Gaunt and I teamed up with Austin Lucas,
his father Bob Lucas, and Bass fiddle man Digger Barnes.
Together we hit it off from the start and comprised a solid record of 12
numbers. What we came up with was a great and special moment unexpected by all
of us there. Austin and I have planned this project for sometime now, even
though this record is considered a split collaboration between all of us
involved.
The songs consist of 3 Chuck Ragan originals, 3 Austin Lucas originals,
3 Ragan/Lucas originals, 1 original by Bob Lucas, and 2 old time standards
called Darling Corey and Distant Land To Roam.
The entire record has a very strong sense of bluegrass, folk and old time gospel
with a certain feel of exactly where we were and what was going on when we laid
it down. Which was a group of strangers coming together to enjoy good food and
music up in the hills on the highest point of Ohio for a week and leaving as
friends by the end. We recorded this session at Bob Lucas and Laura Gayle's home
on top of Bristle Ridge in Zanesfield, Ohio.
It was truly a sight and time to remember and we owe these kindred spirits for
this great memory!
