- Description:
- The Del McCoury Band: Del McCoury (vocals, guitar); Ronnie McCoury (vocals, mandolin); Rob McCoury (banjo); Jason Carter (vocals, fiddle); Mike Bub (vocals, bass).
Additional personnel: Jerry Douglas (dobro).
Recorded at Music Row Audio and Cowboy Arms Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by Dana Andrew Jennings, Junior Brown, Steve Earle, Uncle "Dawg" Grisman, Eddie Stubbs and Robert K. Oermann.
THE COLD HARD FACTS was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.
Del McCoury`s pure, cutting tenor demands attention and marks him as a first-class practitioner of authentic bluegrass, a rare commodity these days. While McCoury and his band remain true to the spirit of the music (look ma, no drums), he`s not afraid to take songs from other genres and adapt them to fit his style. He transforms Robert Cray`s "Smoking Gun" (with some furious mandolin work by brother Ronnie McCoury) and Tom Petty`s "Love Is A Long Road" so completely that you`d swear they were written by Bill Monroe himself.
With brothers Rob on banjo and Ronnie on mandolin (both sing, too), and the support of Dobro king Jerry Douglas, the Del McCoury Band creates a sharp, direct sound as timeless and vital as it is historically accurate. Not content to settle into a comfort zone, McCoury, a onetime lead singer of Monroe`s Bluegrass Boys, keeps things moving with small surprises like the unexpected modulation in "Snake In The House" and the ominous minor-key mood of "Blackjack County Chains," a grim murder tale.
