Country great Janie Fricke is putting a Bluegrass spin on several of her well-known hits with her latest album "Country Side of Bluegrass," set to be released January 24th.
In a partnership with New Music Deals, Janie's album will be available for purchase through Ernest Tubb Record Shops, at shows and on www.janiefricke.com. Fans can stop by Janie's website now to pre-order the album before the release date.
Fricke was approached with the idea of going into the studio and reworking a Bluegrass version of several of her well-known hits. "So I came to Nashville, and they put the bluegrass pickers together. It was so much fun for me. It's a real departure from what I'm used to, because I'm used to the basic standard Country versions. So it was quite a challenge," said Fricke. "Some of the songs were so far out there that I wasn't sure if I could do it or not, because they were so far from the Country version."
"Country Side of Bluegrass" includes a much more up tempo version of the ballad "You Don't Know Love," and "Tell Me a Lie." It also includes a new version of her number one single "Don't Worry 'Bout Me Baby," and "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy." The album includes classics such as Grand Ole Opry favorite "Please Help Me I'm Falling in Love with You," "Faithless Love" and the Johnny Cash hit "Ring of Fire."
