Lonesome River Band finishing up CD
The Lonesome River Band is in the final stages of producing a new CD, according to founding member and banjo player Sammy Shelor.
The group recorded tracks from Feb. 4 to Feb 14 at Mountain Fever Studio in Willis, Va.
“Mark Hodges (producer and engineer for the studio) has been great to work with, and the CD is sounding great,” Shelor said on the band’s Web site,. “It is almost all new material with a couple of old favorites thrown in.”
Guitarist and lead singer Brandon Rickman wrote several tunes for the new project, Shelor said. It will also include songs written by Larry Cordle, Dee Gaskin, and Billy Yeates.
The CD will also mark the return of fiddler Mike Hartgrove with the group. Hartgrove had been playing with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and teaching fiddle.
“Mixing is going on now and we hope to be talking to record companies soon,” Shelor said.
