"New music from a monster vocal talent of contemporary bluegrass"
The bluegrass blue-eyed soul man returns! John Cowan first became known to Ark audiences as the awesome lead vocalist in New Grass Revival, the groundbreaking progressive bluegrass band of the 1970s and 1980s. After New Grass Revival broke up, he toured with the likes of Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Chris Thile of Nickel Creek, and Peter Rowan. Now he's penned six of 13 songs on his new album "Always Take Me Back," an acoustic tour de force with powerful autobiographical themes, and one that returns John to his progressive bluegrass roots. "Three years ago I went on the road with some extraordinary acoustic players and realized this is what I should do," he says. "I'd run away from the legacy of 16 years with New Grass Revival for so long; and I finally realized that for some reason me singing with these instruments make sense."
