About Audie Blaylock and Redline
AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE have a brand new 2012 summer album release, HARD COUNTRY (Rural Rhythm), that includes the new single, “A Natural Thing.” The song is already appearing on the charts including the June 2012 Bluegrass Music Profiles Magazine Top 30 Hot Singles Chart and on the INTO THE BLUE’s TOP PICK OF THE MONTH on the Bluegrass Radio Network. “I chose the name HARD COUNTRY because I think it really defines the music on this disc. It still has that hard-driving bluegrass edge – then changes into slower paced ballad type songs as well, which really show cases the versatility of this band. It also shows just how closely bluegrass and country music are related,” explained Audie.
AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE are still celebrating their album, I’m Going Back to Old Kentucky (A Bill Monroe Celebration) that previously made its debut at #1 on the Bluegrass Music Profiles Top 10 Albums in July 2011, and hit #1 on the Bluegrass Today’s Weekly Song Chart. The album continues to be a sure fire hit with radio with five songs (Cry Cry Darlin’, I’m Going Back to Old Kentucky, In Despair, Mighty Dark to Travel, and Out in the Cold) that topped the charts. Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine gave this project a big thumbs up saying, “The vocal work by Blaylock and others is topnotch, the instrumental support is right on the mark, and the Father of Bluegrass would no doubt find this release very much to his liking,” with Country Standard Time raving, “Put it on, turn it up, and drift away!”
