The Grascals slate new CD on Cracker Barrel
"The Grascals & Friends - Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin" will be out Jan. 11, 2011 at all Cracker Barrel stores. The CD has 13 country music songs that should sound familiar. Among the songs are Tiger By the Tail with Brad Paisley and Folsom Prison Blues with Dierks Bentley. Charlie Daniels and Dolly Parton also play on the disc.
A bonus track, I Am Strong, was written by Grascals band member Jamie Johnson and his wife Susanne Mumpower-Johnson along with Jenee Fleenor after The Grascals visited the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and were inspired by the stories and power of the children being treated there. The song brings together vocals from all of the artists who also appear separately with the Grascals on other tracks on this CD.
