CC-0220 • Albert E. Brumley, Jr. I'll Fly Away

The name Brumley occupies a revered place in the annals of gospel, country, and bluegrass music. Family patriarch Albert E. Brumley, Sr. was the composer of over 800 songs, the most popular of which is the title track to this CD. The song enjoyed renewed interest due to its inclusion in the O Brother! Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Many of Albert’s children inherited his gift for music. Albert E. Brumley, Jr. keeps the legacy of his father’s music alive with this spirited new bluegrass gospel recording. Produced by legendary Ozark musician Rodney Dillard (of the Dillards), this collection evenly balances the songs of Albert E. Brumley, Jr. and Sr. Bluegrass fans will recognize several of the songs here: “Rank Strangers” was immortalized by the Stanley Brothers in 1960 and “I’d Rather Live By The Side Of The Road” was recorded by both Mac Wiseman and the Seldom Scene. Bill Monroe and the Lewis Family (popularly known as the First Family of Bluegrass Gospel Music) have also covered several of the tunes included here.
