In Their Words: “‘I Hear Bluegrass Calling Me’ was written by one of our mentors and a very special friend, Roy Chapman, so it’s automatically important to us. We changed the arrangement a bit to fit our style because we wanted to tip our hats to a couple more of our bluegrass heroes: Bill Monroe, the originator of this music, and the Osborne Brothers, whose cutting-edge vocals and arrangements helped keep bluegrass relevant when it was in a period of decline. It’s a fun tune to play and listen to. We sure hope everyone is enjoying hearing it as much as we are playing it!” — Bobby Powell & Timmy Jones
