Pinecastle Records is getting a real buzz from the early success of “Ripe,” the forthcoming CD from The Dixie Bee-Liners.The CD’s already-released first single, “Down On The Crooked Road,” entered the No. 3 spot this month on the bluegrass Roots Music Report.
“Every once in a great while a new release comes across our desk that introduces a band that we know is going to be the next big thing in bluegrass music,” wrote Robert Bartosh with the Roots Music Report. “The Dixie Bee-Liners are one of those bands…pure to the bluegrass tradition and the vocal performances are beyond words. They are profoundly talented and the sound is their own. The bluegrass music scene should brace for this new album.”
In anticipation of the CD’s April 15 release, Pinecastle this week launched a CD give-away promotion, with entries ending on April 15. The label will give away to 10 copies of “Ripe.”

We love the Dixie Bee-Liners! We have permission from Brandi Hart to play their music for our guests. So far our guests have adored their cd “RIPE” and have wanted to buy it! It really is exceptional.
We are the start of The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail right here in Rocky Mount Virginia. If you have never had biscuits and gravy at Dairy Queen while listening to toe tappin bluegrass - you better get out here to these Blue Ridge Mountains!
Around here you can toss a rock in any direction and hit a musician!
Stay with us at The Claiborne House Bed and Breakfast.
