Bluegrass/Roots band Route 3 has officially released their highly anticipated new album Just Believe, available today via Pinecastle Records. The project is now available for download and streaming across all digital platforms. Packed with seven brand-new recordings, Just Believe delivers Route 3’s signature sound, blending tight harmonies and top-notch musicianship.

The collection showcases Route 3’s mastery of storytelling and instrumental prowess. Six of the album’s tracks were penned by band member Jason Jordan (two co-written with bandmate Greg Potter), including the reflective title track “Just Believe,” a mid-tempo Bluegrass Gospel tune. Another standout is their Bluegrass rendition of Mark Chesnutt’s “Your Love Is A Miracle,” offering a fresh, roots-infused take on the classic country hit. Alongside Jordan, the group features Doug Clifton on bass, Janice Martin on banjo, Potter on mandolin and special guest Ron Stewart on fiddle, whose instrumental contributions further elevate the album’s rich sound.

The latest single from the album, “Boy From West Virginia,” highlights Route 3’s lyrical craft, as it tells the story of a young man striving to leave his coal-mining roots behind. Written by Jason Jordan, the song explores themes of ambition, longing, and eventual gratitude for one’s origins. As Jordan explains, “He soon realizes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and learns to be thankful for what you have and where you come from.” The track’s powerful narrative and dynamic instrumentation have made it a standout on the album.

Route 3 has quickly made a name for themselves in the Bluegrass scene. Their 2022 Pinecastle Records debut, Losing Time, produced popular singles like the title track and “Cartersville,” and helped solidify their place in the genre. They’ve also earned accolades such as the Arkansas Country Music Award for “Bluegrass Artist of the Year” in 2020. With Just Believe, the band continues to push forward, delivering authentic Bluegrass music to a growing national audience.
