Mark Newton's new record, "Hillbilly Hemingway" has hit the shelves and created a stir in the bluegrass market.
|
"I'm really proud of this record," says Newton. Newton's pride is understandable; collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Carl Jackson, he's fulfilled the promise embodied in the title of his previous effort, No Boundaries, searching beyond bluegrass for just the right songs, adding tasteful percussion and raising his already |
considerable interpretative vocal skills to a new level. The result is an album solidly rooted in bluegrass without being hemmed in by its narrowest conventions-a collection that he calls, without hesitation,“the best album I’ve ever made.” Bluegrass Radio Network and WSM Radio's Terry Herd calls Hillbilly Hemingway "a stellar project!"

The critically acclaimed Hillbilly Hemingway has received rave reviews.
