Bluegrass Today

“We also have a couple of my granddad’s songs that have never been recorded. Better Times is one I found as a kid on an old, blue cassette tape, just him playing guitar and singing the song. Then there’s one he started, called Riding In An Old Freight Train, that my uncle Bobby finished.”

Jason had his own bluegrass career as well before starting up with the Wood Family Tradition, playing with both Audie Blaylock and James King. When he and Mackenzie married, he decided to stop running the road. Before long, his dad mentioned how he missed performing, and Jason told him, “Hey… we play together all the time. Let’s start our own band.”

On the album, the band is supplemented by Van Gallman on banjo, and Billy Hawks on fiddle. They are seeking a full-time banjo picker now.
