Correction:  We mistakenly reported the wrong date on Dailey& Vincent  being guest DJ’s on SIRIUS Bluegrass 65. The Correct Date is Friday,  June 6 at 5 PM (Eastern Time).

Nashville, Tenn. — New Rounder Records duo Dailey & Vincent top this week’s Count Down Yonder Weekly Top 17 Songs of SIRIUS Bluegrass with “More Than a Name on a Wall” from their self-titled CD released in January. The song, written by Jimmy Fortune and John Rimel about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, was a hit for the Statler Brothers in 1989 and is still moving and timely today.

This is the second time Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent have topped the SIRIUS Bluegrass countdown. Their first #1 was “By the Mark,” a gospel number written by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, featuring the pared-down sound of Jamie and Darrin’s voices, guitar and mandolin. It remained at #1 for four weeks. In the No Depression review of Dailey & Vincent, writer David Baxter comments, “ . . . their sparse, reverent rendering of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings’ ‘By The Mark’ could plant a seed of faith in the hardest of skeptic hearts.”

“By the Mark” has also been nominated for Favorite Song at the 2008 Front Porch Fellowship Bluegrass Gospel Awards. Nominations are based on online, phone and mail requests to the nationally syndicated Front Porch Fellowship radio program, which airs in over 175 markets in the U.S., Canada and the Virgin Islands on the Solid Gospel Radio Network and streams on http://www.solidgospel.com. Voting takes place until July 31 on www.singingnews.com (click on Front Porch Fellowship Fan Awards icon). Awards will be presented on September 11 during the Bluegrass Pickin’ Jamboree at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dailey & Vincent will be guest DJ’s on SIRIUS Bluegrass 65 on Friday, May 30, Friday, June 6 at 5 p.m. eastern. They are also hosting the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree on Saturday, May 31, with special guest Jimmy Fortune. Fans can tune in on 650 AM WSM, or listen online at http://www.wsmonline.com starting at midnight (central).
