Tailor Made, new release from Phoenix

We got a note from Eddie King with Phoenix, letting us know that they had recently received copies of their new CD, Tailor Made.

Eddie plays mandolin with the Virginia-based group, which also includes David Coffey on guitar, Jim Green on bass and Randy Driskill on banjo. All four band members sing, and have extensive experience performing in established bluegrass bands like Lonesome River Band, Bill Harrell & The Virginians, and Michelle Nixon & Drive.

Tailor Made features 12 tracks, nine of which are band originals. Ron Stewart guests on fiddle, as does Dale Perry, who recorded the project in his studio, on bass vocals.

You can find more details on the band’s web site, where sample audio tracks are available as well.
