The song is an original by band member Roger Helton who also performs guitar, banjo, Dobro and vocals on the CD along with other band members, Jimbo Whaley (vocals and guitar); Scott Carris (bass); and guests, Danny Barnes (mandolin); and Shad Cobb (fiddle).
Last month Greenbrier kicked off the release of “The Back of the Book” with what became a CD Release concert and celebration. The event was held at the Historic Mills Auditorium in Gatlinburg, TN where over 1300 fans attended and over 1200 CDs were sold. Guests included: Marty Raybon, Trey Hensley, Danny Barnes, Dr. Eric Littleton, Whaley’s son, Turner, and many more. The concert featured songs from “The Back of the Book” including new fan favorites, “Barabbas, Breakin’,” “Jail at Midnight,” “You Take the Lead” and the title track to name a few.
Greenbrier is one of the most popular bluegrass bands in the East Tennessee area, but due to high demand elsewhere, they are now performing select dates around the country including California, Wisconsin and most recently, a recent sold out Atlanta show with Carrie Hassler & Hard Rain.
Greenbrier has one previously released CD, “I Want to Know More,” that was released in 2005 and Whaley has numerous solo projects including: a live performance DVD/CD, “Jimbo Whaley & Friends” released in 2007, “The Kings of Orebank” released in 2006 and his self titled album released in 2005.
