CMH Records is pleased to announce the release of Josh Graves' Same Old Blues digitally for the first time.
Born in 1927 to a family of eight in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, Josh Graves would come to change the shape of bluegrass as we know it.
Josh Graves launched his music career at the young age of 15, touring with luminaries such as Mac Wiseman, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. While hired by the latter two as a bassist in the studio, Graves made bluegrass history by overdubbing dobro (an acoustic guitar with a metal resonator) on some of the group’s recordings. In doing so, he not only introduced the dobro as a potential instrument for the genre but revolutionized the way the instrument itself has been played to this day.
JOSH GRAVES
Country - Traditional Country
Made available digitally for the first time since its 1977 release, listeners new and old can enjoy this lost classic and hear the dobro legend’s playing in a whole new light.
