A Day In The Country showcases mandolinist Butch Baldassari in a set of classic sounding old-time/bluegrass and original tunes, along with a stellar cast of Nashville’s finest pickers. Mike Bub, Robert Bowlin, Kathy Chiavola, Larry Cordle, Glen Duncan, Ellsworth Dye, Randy Howard, Alissa Jones and Mark Schatz, all pay homage to the Traditional side of the music with tracks like Morgan Megan, Little Rosewood Casket/Old Spinning Wheel, and Seneca Square Dance, while introducing some new music that is surely destined to become classic. Tunes like Azalea Waltz written by Kathy Chiavola and All My Children and Black Mountain Aire written by Mark Schatz are based squarely in traditions of the past.
