Kentucky Just Us is pleased to announce the release of their newest single “Bluegrass Music.” “Bluegrass Music” was written by award winning songwriter Tim Raybon and is a true bluegrass song with an upbeat tempo and positive message. The song embodies exactly what you would expect with the title “Bluegrass Music” and so much more. The melody lends itself to high soulful harmonies and powerful driving instrumentation.
“When I wrote ‘Bluegrass Music’ I had Kentucky Just Us in mind as they remind me so much of the Osborne Brothers. With the high harmonies and banjo driven sound this song really embodies the tradition of bluegrass being passed to another generation. I was elated that Kentucky Just Us recorded this song,” says Raybon.
“Bluegrass Music” represents the passion that Kentucky Just Us has for traditional bluegrass music while remaining true to their own unique sound. The new single features Jesse’s captivating high tenor vocal and his innovative banjo playing, as his well-deserved honor of National Banjo Champion suggests. You will also hear the tight three-part harmonies by Kacey (fiddle) and Jesse (banjo) that we’ve all come to expect when you hear Kentucky Just Us. Shelane (bass) along with engineer and friend Tony Wray (guitar) provide the backbone of the song with impeccable timing. Caleb (mandolin) at only 13, shows off his exceptional skills with an Osborne style break and chop, that is wise beyond his years.
“We were excited for the opportunity to record a Tim Raybon song. He did a fantastic job writing it and I think it’s a perfect song for bluegrass radio,” says Kacey.
“Bluegrass Music” will be available to all major streaming platforms and nationwide radio on July 7th. Radio programmers and DJ’s can access the new single on AirPlay Direct.
