Musically, Kenny and Amanda both bring tremendous talent to their partnership. He is a powerhouse guitarist who has won awards at Winfield, Merlefest, SPBGMA, and from Bluegrass Now magazine and IBMA. She has been called “one of the genre’s best vocalists.” The duo was stunned when they were nominated – and won – the IBMA award for Emerging Artist in 2003. The following year, they released the first of four recordings on the Rebel label.

Always Never Enough (REB-1811) is the second of the four albums. Amanda applies her lovely lead vocals to seven of the songs while Kenny tackles five of them. The recording shows off two new band members, bass player Alan Bartram and mandolin player Jason Robertson. In addition to new fare from Tim Stafford, Steve Gulley, and Becky Buller, the band reprised several bluegrass and country classics from the likes of Carter Stanley, Webb Pierce, and Mel Tillis.
