Jim Lauderdale: Bluegrass Diaries
The Bluegrass Diaries is the 2008 Grammy Award winner for Best Bluegrass Album. Lauderale's second Grammy win is proof positive that he is one of country music's most prolific songwriters and performers, with his work resulting in a legendary output of top-notch gems. Music seems to flow from the very pores of the man who has penned hits for some of country music's most chart-topping superstars including The Dixie Chicks, George Jones, George Strait, Vince Gill and Patti Loveless.
The Bluegrass Diaries picks up where the Grammy-nominated album Bluegrass left off, allowing Lauderdale to indulge in his passion for intricate picking and foot stompin' with his friends. The album includes Randy Kohrs on dobro, Richard Bailey on banjo, Jay Weaver on bass, Cody Kilby on guitar and Aaron Till on fiddle as well as many other special guests. On The Bluegrass Diaries Lauderdale blends bluegrass chops with his signature turn of phrase. At root, the album is a metaphor for Lauderdale's entire career; switchblade-sharp, honest and starkly American. |
