There  are  many  flavors  of  bluegrass,  but  none  so  delicious  as  what  you’ll  hear  on  Rural  Rhythm   Records’  I’m  Going  Back  To  Old  Kentucky  by  Audie  Blaylock  and  Redline.  My  personal  introduction   to  bluegrass  music  included  just  about  all  the  songs  featured  on  this  CD.  So,  they  hold  a  special   place  in  my  heart.  Absolutely  no  track  disappoints  the  listener.  How  can  that  be?   Audie  Blaylock,  along  with  Redline  members:  Patrick  McAvinue  (fiddle/vocals),  Reed  Jones   (bass/vocals),  and  Russ  Carson  (banjo)  comprise  a  wealth  of  talent  alone.  Add  special  guests  Del   McCoury,  Ronnie  McCoury,  Bobby  Osborne,  Lou  Reid,  Carl  Jackson,  Glen  Duncan,  and  Jason   Carter  to  the  mix  and  you  cannot  have  anything  less  than  a  truly  outstanding  piece  of  work.  These   extra-­‐special  guest  artists  add  a  little  of  their  magic  to  every  single  track  on  the  CD.

This  Bill  Monroe  Celebration  includes:  ”I’m  Goin’  Back  To  Old  Kentucky,”  ”You’ll  Find  Her  Name   Written  There,”  ”  My  Little  Georgia  Rose,”  ”Cry  Cry  Darlin’,”  ”Tall  Timber,”  plus  seven  more  gems.   Scott  Vestal  engineered  the  work;  Audie  Blaylock  produced  it.  Bill  Monroe  would  have  approved  it.

Audie  dedicated  the  CD  to  his  father,  Fred  Blaylock.  In  the  liner  notes  he  thanks  his  mother  for  her   guitar  (He  took  it  over  so  she  couldn’t  play  it  anymore!)  and  his  father  for  playing  Bill  Monroe  and    Jimmy  Martin  records  when  he  was  a  kid.  Yeah,  I’m  thankful  for  that  too,  Mr.Blaylock.

Spend  your  money  on  this  one,  folks.  It’s  a  keeper.

“Cry, Cry Darlin’” from Audie Blaylock and Redline’s latest release, I’m Going Back to Old Kentucky, took the #1 spot on Bluegrass Today’s Weekly Airplay Chart! The Weekly Top 20 Airplay Chart posted December 9th on the Bluegrass Today site reflects actual airplay (using spin counts as a measurement), through the current period. Congrats guys and good work! If you haven’t heard the cut or the record, make sure to pick one up here! See you folks soon!

While on our way to McKinney, Texas we took a detour through Detroit to see the Tedeschi-Trucks Band perform at the Royal Oak Theatre. The music was absolutely AMAZING! If you have a chance to see them, TAKE IT! It was easily the best concert we’ve ever seen…

Saturday 11/5/11, Audie and the boys sat down and talked with Dennis Jones at WNCW 88.7! Thanks to all who tuned in! We would like to especially thank Dennis and the fine folks at WNCW also! We appreciate your support!

As you all know, Audie and Redline are gear-heads…Last weekend after a killer show at the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival, we went to the Hershey Antique Auto Meet in Hershey, PA. While we admired the amazing pieces of mechanical art, we met Corky Coker, banjo picker and President of Coker Tire!
