The Daughters of Bluegrass was an idea conceived by Lorraine Jordan of the
Carolina Road Band and Gena Britt, who was at the time traveling with Carolina Road. Their thoughts were there
were so many great women pickers and singers in bluegrass why not bring them all together for a recording project showing those talents.
The years and experience of these eighteen performers represent many varied and great styles. From the traditional singing and playing of Lorraine Jordan and Dale Ann Bradley to the contemporary styles of Gena Britt and Julie
Elkins, there is something for everyone on this project.
Dixie Hall a songwriter on the album says, “Go Listen -
it’s all there and anyone who doesn’t ‘get it’ should’ve asked
Jimmy Martin or John Duffey. Listen and form your own opinion.”
Audiences
got that chance in February when The Daughters of Bluegrass showcased
songs from the album at a performance at the Society for the
Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America's convention in Nashville.
