Rounder has announced January 20, 2009 as the release date for a new project from Bobby Osborne & The Rocky Top X-Press.

Bluegrass & Beyond will feature 12 new tracks from Bobby and his band (Bobby Osborne Jr. on bass, Dana Cupp on banjo, Richard Bennett on guitar, and David Crow on fiddle), with guest appearances from Marty Stuart and Connie Smith, and Rhonda and Darrin Vincent.

Songs include new compositions and Bobby’s covers of hits like Drivin’ My Life Away and Girl from Yesterday. Rounder says that the sound is still vintage Osborne, sticking to the bluegrass and traditional country sound that has marked his music for nearly 60 years.
