Randall Deaton Episode #27

On this episode Tim & Josh discuss bluegrass music news, Josh Williams plays an old Gordon Lightfoot song and we have a great conversation with Randall Deaton. Randall Deaton’s affinity for making music was apparent from early on, but it was his dedication and devotion that inspired him to form his record label, Lonesome Day Records, and strive to make an indelible mark on the music industry.

Randall and Lonesome Day Records have made a triumphant return after a nearly 10 year hiatus.  The label’s first release since 2015, Silver Bullet Bluegrass is an exceptional tribute to legendary rocker Bob Seger, brought to fruition by an all-star lineup of Bluegrass singers and players.  Gary Nichols, Tim Shelton, Shonna Tucker, Bo Bice, Tim Stafford, Bill Taylor, and Larry Cordle are among the artists who contributed vocals to the record. Merging the indelible melodies Bob Seger is famous for with a Bluegrass interpretation is a unique concept, yet both Seger and Bluegrass possess the power of authenticity and inspiring engagement. One might say the two were made for each other.
