Song: “Highway Back to You”
Album: Benny’s TV Repair
Release Date: May 10, 2019
Label: Mountain Fever Records

In Their Words: “David Starr and I started writing together about two years ago. A friend had the notion that David and I might be a good team and that has proven to be very true. We started out on the day we wrote ‘Highway Back to You’ with a melody that I had and a first part of the verse that David brought. We just let the song take us to where we ended up. A song about asking for a second chance. The highway is always a great metaphor for an emotional journey. This one is full of love, sentiment and hope. The musicians nailed the track and Ronnie Bowman’s harmony vocal is a perfect finishing touch. It is one of my favorite songs to sing on Benny’s TV Repair.” — Irene Kelley

Album: Point Of No Return
Release Date: April 12, 2019

In Their Words: “When I first heard Ashby Frank’s song ‘Point Of No Return,’ it spoke to me. I feel like it represents the journey that I’m on with my music and my career. I truly have reached the point that I could never go back to what I was doing before. Music is my life, and I’m so truly blessed to do what I do. It was a no-brainer to make this tune the title track of my new album. I’m proud of the work the band did recording it, and I hope everyone enjoys it!” — Amanda Cook

In Their Words: “When I first heard the demo of ‘The Guilt Was Gone,’ Shawn Camp was singing the fire out of it! I thought to myself, ‘That sounds like a Del McCoury song if I ever heard one.’ Then I remembered asking Del if he’d sing a song with me some time and he said, ‘Anytime! Just holler.’ So, I did and here it is!” — Junior Sisk
