Among the pantheon of music’s finest artists, Bluegrass artist Del McCoury stands alone. From the nascent sound of bluegrass that charmed hardscrabble hillbilly honky-tonks, rural schoolhouse stages, and the crowning glory of the Grand Ole Opry to the present-day culture-buzz of viral videos and digital streams, Del is the living link.

Now helming the Del McCoury Band, with sons Ronnie and Rob, the ensemble continues to represent in a larger, growing musical community, a peerless torchbearer for the entire sweep and scope of bluegrass history. Those many years, not to mention a good-natured willingness to stay alert to the latest sounds and opportunities around him, earned McCoury a whole new generation of fans,

And like any genuine treasure, the gifts keep coming. On their latest release, Songs of Love and Life, a glorious 13-song collection, features Del touching down on a diverse set of tracks--vintage and contemporary.
