Ain't nothing but a "Tennessee Hound Dog" video for The Grascals

Saturday, July 27, 2024 – As The Grascals' album 20 nears its release on Aug. 23, the band released a music video for the lead-off track, "Tennessee Hound Dog."

The song is one of two Felice and Boudleaux Bryant-penned Osborne Brothers classics. "Tennessee Hound Dog" offers a recap of the group's earliest days, when Bobby Osborne would frequently join them on the stage of the Station Inn to lend his voice.

"We lost Bobby and Sonny Osborne from this earth in the past few years, and if you follow The Grascals, then you already know how much they meant to us," said Johnson. "While we didn't get to record a full tribute album, we did make sure and include two ('Georgia Pineywoods' and 'Tennessee Hound Dog') of their songs on this new album. 'Tennessee Hound Dog' is very fast paced, with soaring-high challenging vocals, and it has been cut by very few other than Bobby and Sonny. We had fun recording this one and we love performing live on our shows for it usually gets folks smiling as we all remember the best, The Osborne Brothers."

He handles nearly half of the lead vocal responsibilities including, "Delia" and gospel tune ...

CD review - and then there's this... One of bluegrass music's strongest and most engaging performing groups, Nashville's The Grascals have consistently freshened traditional sounds with modern, progressive elements. Their Rounder albums were impressive with each an excellent introduction to the group. More recently, the band has occasionally faltered by producing music lacking distinction. Albums have been uneven in both song selection and execution. The Grascals have attempted to broaden their appeal in ways detrimental to ...
When I Get My Way
CD review - When I Get My Way The Grascals 2005 debut was surprisingly powerful, and Me and John and Paul continues to be their most singularly heartfelt recording. Which isn't to suggest that the sextet has failed to meet commercial and artistic standards with subsequent recordings. The Grascals have delivered high-quality songs and albums, at times appealingly frivolous, as on the joyously lighthearted e.p., "Dance Til Your Stocking are Hot and Ravelin'." As ably as few other bluegrass bands, The ...
