Exclusive Track Premieres Offered On Five Outlets
“The album finds the (un)common ground between Appalachia and Motor City.”
– Chris Parton, Nashville Lifestyles
Nashville, TN – Lonesome Day Records’ much-anticipated all-star tribute to Rock legend Bob Seger, SILVER BULLET BLUEGRASS, rolls out tomorrow on vinyl, CD and all streaming platforms. The 13-track album, distributed by SONY/The Orchard, is the brainchild of label head and producer Randall Deaton (Larry Cordle, Ralph Stanley II, Blue Moon Rising). Deaton, Jimmy Nutt, and Gary Nichols engineered the landmark project.
Five outlets celebrated the album’s release with exclusive track premieres. They include “Against The Wind” / Tim Shelton (Americana Highways), “Hollywood Nights” / Shonna Tucker (AntiMusic), “Main Street” / Josh Shilling (The Bluegrass Situation), “Night Moves” / Larry Cordle (Center Stage Magazine) and “Roll Me Away” / Bill Taylor (Bluegrass Today).
Features and interviews have run in Bluegrass Today, The Bluegrass Situation, Making A Scene, and The Oakland Press. Radio coverage includes WSM’s Coffee, Country & Cody, Whiskey & Cigarettes, the Big Al & Sandy Radio Show, and more.
Early reviews are highlighting the vocalists’ stylistic individualism, the endurance of Seger’s songs and the unique twist of the Bluegrass slant.
Lee Zimmerman, American Songwriter – “A highly satisfying down-home encounter . . . it serves Seger’s tunes well.”
Bob Allen, Bluegrass Unlimited – “ . . . these singers capture the magic, melodrama, pathos, irony and celebration of Seger’s originals.”
Donald Teplyske, Fervor Coulee – “each performer successfully shines across the project. SBB provides fresh, vibrant interpretations of familiar songs.”
John Apice, Americana Highways – “Lots of fiery performances . . . ‘Main Street’ slides into a slow Bluegrass spot like an expensive pair of shoes.”
