New Kenny and Amanda Smith Band

The Kenny & Amanda Smith Band have a new CD out on Rebel Records. The album titled Live and Learn features 13 tracks including a misprint on track 2. Track 2 should be labeled "The Blues Down in Kentucky" penned by Gray Brewer. Also on the release is the Norman Blake tune "Randall Collins" as well as "I'd Jump The Mississippi" penned by George Jones and Johnny Mathis. Two original tracks are including in the release, "Words You Use" and "Icicle Canyon".

All in all this is a very solid bluegrass album from start to finish. Produced by Kenny and Amanda themselves and recorded in Charlotte, NC by Glenn Tabor. Zachary McLamb lends bass, Aaron Williams chops the mandolin, and guests Ron Stewart (fiddle and banjo) and Alan Bartram (harmony vocals) round out the sound.
