Song Notes
1. Blue Rocking Chair – Two of the finest songwriters in bluegrass and acoustic music, Chris Stuart and Janet Beazley, wrote this song and were kind enough to send it my way. As soon as I heard it I loved it and thought it would be a great song for Alan to sing. He proved me right with his killer performance. – Steve

2. Up In The Wheelhouse – A tune I came up with in Grass Valley, CA a couple of years ago. We all love to play in B! Heard the title phrase used in many ways through the years but hearing it on the show “Deadliest Catch” assured me it was the title. – Alan

3. I Don’t Worry About You Anymore – A great song that I learned from my dad, Don and his group – The Pinnacle Mountain Boys. They performed and recorded the song in ‘50’s and ‘60’s. It was written by east Tennessee banjo legend, the late Loren Rogers. He was a member of that band and has influenced so many musicians from my part of the country. One of my favorite songs, it has that ‘50’s “bluegrass bounce” and is a really fun one to play. Justin’s open “F” banjo solos really set the retro tone for this tune. – Steve

4. Kickin’ Up Dust – Wes Golding, of Boone Creek fame and a former bandmate of mine, gave me this song at Denton, NC over ten years ago. I’m sure glad he’s patient. One of our favorite songs we’ve ever recorded! – Alan

5. Old Time Way – Thanks to Ronnie and Craig for letting us have this great old – school duet song. Writing great classic songs is as easy as breathing for these talented guys. Steve’s tenor really makes this tune for me. – Alan

6. Run – This tune reminds me of the kind of bluegrass I grew up listening to. I appreciate Steve helping me bring this concept to fruition but even more for singing his tail off on it! Man, that’s the real thang. – Alan

7. Our Father – I got this song from an old ‘30’s recording by the Golden Gate Quartet – my favorite quartet of all time. We arranged the song to fit our style of singing and hopefully did the original proud. The “Gates” are a hard act to follow but we really love acapella music and I think it really shows in this tune. – Steve

8. Somewhere Between Givin’ In And Givin’ Up – I came up with this song idea when discussing a family member’s marital woes. I told my wife it sounded like that person was somewhere between givin’ in and givin’ up. She wrote it down thinking it would make a good song. I had it practically completed when I asked Alan to help me finish it. I’m really glad he did. It’s a mid-tempo “slammer” and we love to play those tunes. I think Alan plays this style of song with more intensity and attitude than anyone. He killed it! – Steve

9. Grass Stain – I wanted to write a tune in the style of one of my favorite fiddlers ever, Kenny Baker. This tune is in the key of B-flat, a key which Mr. Baker owned. He is not afraid of B-flat but maybe I should be! – Adam

10. Anchor In The Storm – I wrote most of this tune over ten years ago but was sure glad to have Steve help me with the re-write. It’s a bluegrassy Gospel song and has a meaning close to my heart and very true in my life. – Alan

11. Vicksburg – I had the idea and concept for this song for at least two years. I had actually started writing it but just couldn’t seem to finish it. Then, on a trip to France in 2010, I asked Alan to help me with the song during our downtime. The timing was right and we finished it in no time. It tells the story of the Union army’s taking of Vicksburg and the cruelty of war. Adam’s fiddle really helps paint the picture on this one. – Steve

12. Waves Of Sorrow – I helped record this song back in 1985 with the New Quicksilver and actually performed it live in the early IIIrd Tyme Out days. A great tune that we have a lot of fun with. Justin rocks this on the banjo! – Alan
