Bill Yates’ Country Gentlemen Tribute

You can hear Bill Yates talk about his new CD release: “Country Gentlemen Tribute” on www.bluegrasscountry.org beginning today. Check that website for the schedule times of airing this week. Bill has assembled a group that sound remarkably like the Gents of the ’70s & ’80s when Doyle Lawson and Bill Emerson were playing with Charlie and Bill. The interview features several songs from the new release.
