BUCK CARROLL & BREAKING NEW GROUND—TALKIN ABOUT HOBOS [September 2005 Issue]

No Label, No Number

This most recent recording project from Buck Carroll and Breakin' New Ground is apparently already enjoying considerable airplay in selected radio markets. "Talkin' About Hobos" is an excellently conceived production comprised of a dozen selections, several of which were written by friends of the band, Bill Castle and Larry Fraley. Some of the more memorable performances include the title song, "Stone Cold Loneliness" and "Knowin' That It's Over." One particular highlight is the band's rendition of the instrumental "Rebecca." Judging from the contents of "Talkin' About Hobos," Buck Carroll and Breakin' New Ground is one bluegrass band that is truly on the move.

Buck Carroll and Breakin' New Ground  would also like to say thank you to Archie Duncan, our biggest fan, supporter, and friend.  Without Archie, this project could not have been possible.   Archie has also added his vocal talents to the project with a great version of Bill Harrell's song "Cold November Rain" (Track 7).
