New music from Blue Highway! That’s always worthy of your attention, even now in their 31st year as a touring and recording outfit.
Today Down The Road Records has released Muddy Shoes, written by mandolinist Shawn Lane and his frequent co-writer, Gerald Ellenburg. They cut the track at the ETSU Recording Laboratory in Johnson City, TN with Dan Boner engineering.
Lane sings this one as well, with tenor harmony from reso-guitarist Gary Hultman. Tim Stafford is on guitar, Jason Burleson on banjo, and Wayne Taylor on bass. This is as solid a bluegrass track as you might hope to hear, with Blue Highway’s trademark restrained drive that both pushes and holds back at the same time.
Give it a listen.
Muddy Shoes is available now from popular download and streaming services online, and to radio programmers via AirPlay Direct and Get It Played.
