Fiddle man Carter goes for "Lowdown Hoedown"

The 13-sng set features Dierks Bentley, Aiofe O'Donovan, Vince Gill, Billy Strings, Sarah Jarosz, Jon Fishman and Marty Stuart.

Carter today released "King of the Hill," a Bruce Hornsby tune that features Sam Bush on mandolin, Jerry Douglas on Dobro, Russ Carson on banjo, Dennis Crouch on bass, and Cody Kilby, Carter's longtime Travelin' McCourys bandmate, on guitar. "The story is about a guy who is unhappy with his job and relates to it like a prison. I think it made a great bluegrass song," said Carter, who was introduced to the song by Kilby. "This was the first song we recorded for the record, and the band knocked it out of the park."

Carter has garnered three Grammy awards, including 2018's "Best Bluegrass Album" with the Travelin' McCourys, and five IBMAs for Fiddle Player of the Year. As a fiddler, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Asleep at the Wheel and Bentley.
