Steve Gulley has one of the most expressive tenor voices in bluegrass and he has been an important part of the Renfro Valley Barn Dance show, Doyle Lawson’s Quicksilver and a front man for the group Mountain Heart. Steve is now a member of Grasstowne, and this first solo album is a lovely collection of his favorite songs featuring some of the top bluegrass musicians and Steve’s wife Debbie and his Dad Don. Steve’s heartfelt delivery is showcased in his version of George Jones’ “Elusive Dreams” which he sings with his wife Debbie and Dale Ann Bradley. “The Grand Tour” is another George Jones cover, and Steve’s version of the empty house where love is gone is one of his most requested songs at concerts. Steve’s autobiographical “Mountain Heart” tells of his Tennessee upbringing and was the inspiration for the Mountain Heart band name. Elmer Burchett wrote the hard-driving banjo led tune “Livin’ It Down.” Don Gulley, Steve’s father sings the lead to “Nearer My God to Thee” with Steve and Doyle Lawson adding harmony vocals and mandolin leads. Barry Abernathy joins Steve in the old church song, “All Alone.” “Prepare To Meet Thy God” and “No Not One” are both songs from the Baptist hymnal. Steve serves up a good selection of his favorite songs and his fans can look forward to his new endeavors with Grasstowne.		More Information About This CD
