COUNTRY GRASS

Featuring PINECASTLE RECORDING ARTIST Lorraine Jordan

In 2018, Pinecastle Records released the Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road album, “Country Grass”, that would forever change the relationship between bluegrass and country music. In fact, it would marry them into a beautiful collaboration that legions of fans can’t get enough of. The bluegrass chart-toppers teamed with some of the biggest country artists of all-time, including Crystal Gayle, Lee Greenwood, Jim Ed Brown, Lynn Anderson, The Kentucky Headhunters, T.G. Sheppard, Eddy Raven, John Anderson and John Conlee, Jesse Keith Whitley, Marty Raybon and Ronnie Reno to give some of their favorite country classics a new and unique, bluegrass twist.  Tracks included in this special collection are the #1 Billboard hits “Ready For The Times to Get Better”, “Common Man”, “Dixie Road”, “Diggin’ Up Bones”, “I've Got Mexico”, “Do You Want To Go To Heaven”, “Don’t Close Your Eyes”, and “Rose Garden”. In addition to recording individual tracks with Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, another highlight on the album is “Boogie Grass Band", which was originally released by Conway Twitty in 1978, but was re-arranged by Lorraine Jordan and Bluegrass singer/songwriter Ronnie Reno, who is the host of Reno’s Old Time Music, airing on RFD-TV. Listen closely, because this track is full of country music legends, who all lend their vocals on this upbeat anthem. Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road took the Country Grass show on the road to please their fans and the audience was taken on an emotional journey, with classic country songs done Bluegrass style using Bluegrass instruments and singing Bluegrass  harmonies. The band delivered tunes that had  fans singing along for days following the live shows.    In 2024 Country Grass became its own band by separating from The traditional sound of Carolina Road. They are booked at several well known festivals and event centers. Country Grass also appears with Larry Cordle backing him up on several of his well know hits such as, "Murder on Music Row" and "Hwy 40 Blues". On special select shows, Duncan Stitt joins the Country Grass band on dobro. Present members of the Country Grass Show are Lorraine Jordan on bass and lead/harmony vocals, Allen Dyer on rhythm guitar and lead/harmony vocals, Kent Dixon on mandolin and lead/harmony vocals, Garrett Newton on banjo and lead vocals, Tim Tew on guitar and dobro, and harmony vocals, lastly, Matt Hooper on fiddle.      Country Grass will be releasing a new project entitled Country Grass II in 2026. Guest artist will include T. Graham Brown,  Eddy Raven, Michael Martin Murphy, TG Shepherd, and a special appearance by their friends, North Carolina's own, The Malpass Brothers.   Country Grass is an outstanding show for all audiences, with banjos ringing and fiddles playing to the country classics we have all come to know and love. This is a must see for fans that love Classic country songs with the Bluegrass Sound.
