“Just An Old Penny” is a song that was co-written by critically-acclaimed songwriters David Stewart and Brink Brinkman. Its lyrics tell the story of a young man eager to grow older and move away, but along the journey he discovers his heart is always where he started at home. Singing lead is Carolina Road member Allen Dyer who trades lines with former “Female Vocalist of the Year” Lorraine Jordan. Other members on display through the track are Ben Greene, Kevin Lamm, Matt Hooper and Wayne Morris.

The new release is the follow-up to the project’s title-cut, “A Little Bit of Bluegrass.” It went on to become a huge hit on radio, achieving significant airplay on SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction, while breaking the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on Mountain Bluegrass with David Pugh and becoming their No. 1 song of 2022. Skope Magazine raved about the single, saying “The song’s message is simple and has instant appeal. Jordan and Carolina Road deliver a straightforward payoff with the song’s refrain that never overstays its welcome with listeners.”
