March 1, 2010:This month in Bluegrass Unlimited, our dear friend Tom Godleski's latest album, Ditch Diggin' Blues, received an excellent review. Four Runners of the Green Laurel members performed on the album, as well as the versatile dobro player Tony Reece (who also makes a guest appearance on our new Backroad Runnin' album. Here's what Bluegrass Unlimited had to say:

"The band gathers around banjo player Bucky Hanks whose propulsive picking lays down a great musical bed for the other instruments to jump on. The other players would be Hanks' sons Caleb on mandolin and Micah on guitar. It's often recognized that family members strike a vocal harmony like no other, and these two do that here, not only with vocals, but also with instruments as the harmony on "Encarna" attests, as does the father-son lick trading on the classic "Dry Run Creek." The group gets to stretch out a bit on the traditional "Vodka Before Brunch." Guests on the album include Don Lewis on fiddle and Tony Reece on resonator guitar... Micah Hanks contributes one song, "The Ghost Of Henry Lee," on which he also sings lead and plays guitar and bass." You can read the rest of the article by clicking here
