Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road have released their next album with the sounds of authentic old-time bluegrass called, True Grass Again, on Pinecastle records. The album has eleven tracks and features several special guests. Affectionately known as the “Lady of Tradition” in bluegrass, Lorraine’s mandolin and vocals have fronted Carolina Road for over 15 years. The band’s distinct sound and old-time flair can be attributed to the bluegrass-rich area of North Carolina from which they hail. Carolina Road is: Ben Greene on banjo and bass vocals, Josh Goforth on fiddle and baritone vocals, Tommy Long on guitar and lead vocals, Matt Hooper on fiddle and Randy Graham on bass and vocal harmony. The magic of True Grass Again is based on brilliant instrumental playing and angelic vocal harmonies that are simply put, gorgeous. That’s the short of it!
