Charles Humphrey III, bass player with the Steep Canyon Rangers, has a new solo project, entirely made up of songs of his own composition. Entitled Songs From The Road, it is a self produced project which features his Rangers band mates, The Biscuit Burners and Larry Keel and Natural Bridge.

Audio samples can be found on Charles’ CDBaby page, which also includes a prominent endorsement from Tim O’Brien.

“Charles Humphrey showcases some fine new bluegrass songs on his new CD ‘Song From The Road.’ ‘Take My Cup And Fill It Up’ is a catchy drinkin’ song, while ‘Roll’n On’ could have been a hit for Jimmy Martin. You can almost hear hearts breaking in the duet, ‘I Can’t Remember When I Stopped Loving You.’ Sing these songs yourself, or go hear them…”

Charles has posted some photos from the CD release party on his site.

The CD can be ordered from Charles’ official web site, from CDBaby, and surely at any of the Steep Canyon Rangers’ live shows.
