The Infamous Stringdusters look to "Dead Man Walking"
The band will release their 20th studio album , "20/20" (American Vibe) in January 2026. This is the follow-up single to the first single from the upcoming album, "Working Man Blues."
Fiddle player and songwriter for the Stringdusters, Jeremy Garrett, said, "I had this idea about a pitiful character that needed to snap out of their life and take a bigger view of everything before it was too late. I kept having Larry Keel's voice in my mind as I worked through the melody of the song a bit, and so I sent him a verse or two, and he sent me back some. His lyrics were awesome and uplifting, and on the positive side. In a few sessions, we came up with what feels like a powerful chorus and a cool hook. It felt so natural for Dusters to make this one as country as we could, and I just hope it resonates with everyone who listens, as it did with Larry and me as the songwriters."
The group consists of Chris Pandolfi (banjo), Travis Book (double bass), Jeremy Garrett (fiddle), Andy Hall (Dobro), and Andy Falco (guitar).

Like many modern bluegrass bands, the Infamous Stringdusters tend to tap tradition, but only as far as it helps navigate their way towards the mainstream. Granted, the basic accoutrements are there - as evidenced in the confluence of fiddles, banjos, resonator guitar, mandolin and high harmonies - but this band, like such storied contemporaries as the Steep Canyon Rangers, Town Mountain, Punch Brothers, the Sam Bush Band and the like, place more of an emphasis on melody than simply on their ...
