Joe Mullins - The Story We Tell - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2017 . One of the busiest bands in bluegrass, Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers (JMRR) have consistently delivered chart-topping and crowd-pleasing music, as evidenced by multiple International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) awards and Grand Ole Opry appearances on their resume. The group's sixth recording for Rebel Records, The Story We Tell, brings together a vibrant collection of songs new and old, celebrating the band's respect for the past while always maintaining a fresh approach. Featuring Joe Mullins on banjo, alongside bluegrass veterans Mike Terry (mandolin), Jason Barie (fiddle), Randy Barnes (bass) and Duane Sparks (guitar), The Story We Tell builds on the band's previous success, but JMRR are not content to rest on their laurels. The Story We Tell features the band's most inventive and innovative arrangements to date, both vocally and instrumentally. Filled with new songs from some of today's top songwriters, including Larry Cordle, Jerry Salley, Ronnie Bowman, Steve Bonafel, and Raleigh Satterwhite, alongside forgotten gems the band dusted off from such varied sources as The Delmore Brothers, Merle Haggard, and The Browns, the balance achieved on The Story We Tell flows through the speakers like tuning in to your favorite radio broadcast - a claim only befitting of the reigning IBMA Broadcaster of the Year, Joe Mullins!
