SINGLE RELEASE
ASHBY FRANK
“Blue Night”
DESCRIPTION:
Says Frank, “I’ve been performing “Blue Night” on stage since my Mashville Brigade days and still include it on most shows these days with my own band. It’s a staple song in the jam scene, and there have been so many great versions recorded throughout the years since it was written and originally recorded by the great Kirk McGee. When I was doing pre-production for this new record, I started looking for a more traditional sounding up-tempo song, only to realize that I have been performing “Blue Night” for twenty years—and the only recordings of my version are live videos floating around the internet. So it made perfect sense to record it, and I am so thrilled about the version we wound up with in the studio. It has a certain in-your-face modern vibe but also sounds like traditional Bluegrass at the same time. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it!”
