2016 . Long I Ride celebrates Special Consensus' 40th anniversary as a band with an engaging set of songs and guest collaborations that's certain to garner more acclaim. The title track, written by former band member Robbie Fulks, showcases each of the three vocalists in the group including newcomer/mandolinist Nick Dumas. Bluegrass favorites Della Mae join the band for a fresh take on the Larry Cordle classic InchHighway 40 BluesInch and tag mates Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, together with producer/banjoist Alison Brown, deliver a blistering version of the Josh Graves penned standard InchFireball.Inch Other stand outs include a bluegrass version of Stoney LaRue's InchFirst One to KnowInch featuring a guest vocal appearance from Mountain Faith's Summer McMahan and a western swing tinged Joe Newberry original InchBaby I'm BlueInch featuring the twin fiddles of Buddy Spicher and Matt Combs. Long I Ride follows on the heels of Special Consensus' guest laden, multi-award winning album Country Boy A Bluegrass Tribute to John Denver. The band was founded in 1975 by banjoist (and former IBMA President) Greg Cahill and has since then become the breeding ground for some of the best new talent in bluegrass. The current lineup features Rick Faris (guitar, vocals), Nick Dumas (mandolin, vocals), Dan Eubanks (bass, vocals) and banjoist/founder Greg Cahill. Album Tracks 1. Long I Ride 2 49 2.
