When someone hears the term “bluegrass,” he naturally thinks of the beautiful blue-green grass of Kentucky with its picturesque mountain ranges and deep valleys. Bluegrass also brings to mind thoughts of toe tapping music played on acoustic instruments, such as a hollow bodied guitar, five stringed banjo, upright bass, fiddle, resonator guitar, mandolin, and a singer or two. The type of sound that proceeds from this style of music is described as “music from the heart through the nose.”
Though bluegrass music began in the eastern U.S.A., in its popularity it has drifted as far as the west coast and around the world. Bluegrass has stayed pure in its original form for the most part, but it has also mixed well with other genres of music, such as country/western, to form a new Texas hill country sound - Country/ Bluegrass.
My latest CD, “Hill Country Gospel,” is played in this new Country/Bluegrass style with all the familiar acoustic instruments. The Texas hill country feel is wedded to the heart of old Kentucky. I hope that you are not only entertained, but more importantly, moved, edified, challenged, and encouraged in the Christian faith by these twelve original songs meant for the glory of God.
