Lonesome Day Records presents
Lonesome Day Records is pleased to
announce the release of an all-star Bluegrass tribute to BOB
SEGER, SILVER BULLET BLUEGRASS, on July 12 via Sony/The
Orchard. The 13-track album, which features Bo Bice, Carson
Peters, Gary Nichols, Jeff Parker, Josh Shilling, Keith
Garrett, Larry Cordle, Robert Hale, Shonna Tucker, Tim
Shelton, Tim Stafford, Bill Taylor, and Ward Hayden, will be
available on vinyl, disc, and
all streaming platforms, with a pre-sale starting June
28.
Produced by Randall Deaton (Larry Cordle, Ralph
Stanley II, Blue Moon Rising), and engineered by Deaton,
Jimmy Nutt, and Gary Nichols, the project first came to life
back in 2012. A few tracks were cut, but other commitments
got in the way and life moved on. Deaton acquired a business
called Lake Fanny Hooe Resort and Campground located in
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and that kept the album on the
back burner. Several years later, Deaton’s commitment to the
tribute was reignited in part by the enthusiasm of engineer
Jimmy Nutt (Jason Isbell, The Dead South, The Blind Boys of
Alabama) and Grammy award-winning artist/songwriter Gary
Nichols (The SteelDrivers). “Seger’s songs are timeless and
the vocal performances by these artists were too good to
stay hidden any longer,” Deaton notes. “I am incredibly
proud of this record.”
