Nashville, Tenn., — The Lonesome River Band has a lot to celebrate these days as their current Rural Rhythm Records album, “No Turning Back” remains the #1 album on July’s Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine Top 15 album chart marking the third consecutive month holding the #1 spot! The Lonesome River Band is also celebrating the #1 single, “Them Blues” on the July Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine Top 30 singles chart and another single off the record, “Like a Train Needs a Track,” climbed into #19 on the same chart.
“In its 25-year history of making memorable music the Lonesome River Band has arguably never been stronger than it is on “No Turning Back.” If this album doesn’t earn a place on a lot of year-end Best Of lists, something’s amiss, because few other albums in any genre boast finer singing, songwriting, playing or more conviction than this gem,” said The Bluegrass Special.
The Lonesome River Band has recently been featured on covers of such publications as Bluegrass Music Profiles Magazine and Americana Rhythm Music Magazine and continues to receive rave reviews for “No Turning Back.” Band members include: Sammy Shelor, Brandon Rickman, Andy Ball, Mike Hartgrove, and Mike Anglin. The Lonesome River Band, fresh off 2 extremely solid sets at the Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival, are currently touring the festival circuit with upcoming performances scheduled in Michigan, Kentucky, Canada, Ohio, India, South Carolina.
