In Their Words: “During the great pause of 2020, the only way to make music as the Stringdusters was to record remotely, since we’re all scattered around the country. We recently launched our label Americana Vibes, which has been a great vehicle for us to release all of our recorded music (Stringdusters and solo albums), as well as other artists we dig. One of the projects we thought would be fun to record was some OG bluegrass, so of course we turned to Bill Monroe. Without him, there would certainly be no Stringdusters. We each picked some of our favorites, including this one, ‘My Sweet Blue Eyed Darling,’ recorded our parts at home, and I mixed the record in my studio on Long Island to honor the Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe.” — Andy Falco, The Infamous Stringdusters
