RIYL: Classic Country, Americana, Honky-Tonk, Old Crow Medicine Show, Billy Strings, Mumford and Sons, Dwight Yoakam, Buck Owens, Ray Price, The Country Side of Harmonica Sam

“That One Last Rose” from the upcoming album, Last Rose (release date: Dec. 30, 2022), was inspired by great Honky-Tonk Country Music artists like Ray Price, Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam. What luck when technology advanced far enough to let me enlist some of the greatest musicians in the land. First and foremost, renowned fiddler, Byron Berline, famous for playing with all the greats, Bill Monroe, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Vince Gill, to name but a few. Also, pedal steelist, Dan Dugmore, veteran of Linda Ronstadt’s and James Taylor’s great bands.

lyrics

One by one we've lost the roses
of days of yore.
Where is the solid ground?
What are you hanging round here for?

One by one we've lost the roses.
There ain't no more.
Throw out that one last rose
and gently close the door

One by one we've lost the roses.
We didn't care.
We made a pretty pair.
We scattered roses everywhere.

One by one we've lost the roses.
Who counts the cost?
Throw out that one last rose,
it goes with those we've lost.

Bridge:
“There goes another one,”
we'd laugh and have our fun.
We didn't know our race was run.
We didn't know our time was done.

One by one we've lost the roses.
They go so fast.
Throw out that one last rose
and with it goes the past.

SOLO

Bridge:
“There goes another one,”
we'd laugh and have our fun.
We didn't know our race was run.
We didn't know our time was done.

One by one we've lost the roses.
There ain’t no more.
Throw out that one last rose
and gently close the door.

Straight Paths
by Kristen Scott Benson

Kristin is a banjo virtuoso. Trad or unconventional, Scruggs or Fleck, she's got the chops. Her intricate counter-melodies and surprising syncopation turn banjo picking into a fine art. Ted Silar

Almost Proud
by Del McCoury Band

Del McCoury with Jason Carter on fiddle. What could be better? Jason's soaring, incisive fiddle has been driving the Mccoury's' sound for 30 years. And he kicks the jams out of some of my songs, too. Ted Silar

BYRON BERLINE'S TRAIL RIDE ALL-STARS: THE CAMBRIA CONCERT
by BlueGrass West!

Byron was the greatest. Inimitable. His unique style of fiddling is ne plus ultra and sui generis, as they say in the backwoods patois. You gotta hear him to believe him. Ted Silar
