KARIN WRIGHT «YOU GOT THE SILVER» Karin Wright's fourth album is strictly back to the basics, after a couple of country rock albums is her last production stripped down to pure ole country & bluegrass! The album is produced by Don Wayne Reno and Dale Reno. The songs are picked to suit Karin perfectly and it sounds like it was recorded in the ole days, simple and true. The oldest tune on the album is "Salty Dog", first time it was recorded was back in 1924 with Papa Charlie Jackson for Paramount & Broadway. "Jealous Heart" by Jenny Lou Carson are from 1944. Several songs have the goodtime country feel to them such as The Rolling Stones song "You Got The Silver", like it was done in the fifties and sixties. Among the old songs are three self-made songs: "Like A Fading Rose" and "Sandy" is written by Karin and her longtime friend Johanna Demker and Mitch Harrell. "True Believers" is collaboration with Nikolai Grasaasen and the Norwegian Grammy award winner for 2013 in the country genre Bendik Brænne. On this album she has joined forces with The Reno & Harrell Band: Don Wayne Reno: Banjo/guitar Dale Reno: Mandolin Mitch Harrell: Guitar/harmony vocals Robbie Wells: Fiddle/harmony vocals Ron Spears: Upright Bass/harmony vocals Steve Wilson on the dobro, Dale went to see his old time friend Steve in the music store he works in and to ask him to play on the album. Steve who has declined studio work for fifteen years finally said yes to play! We sat down in the control room and when Steve started playing on his dobro we had goosebumps all together! It was an absolutely amazing moment and it just sounded so beautiful. "You Got The Silver" was recorded in one week in the heart of Virginia, right outside the city Roanoke. The album was recorded live, simple, melodic and with beautiful harmonies. The producers Don Wayne Reno and Dale Reno fell in the bluegrass pot as kids, their father Don Reno has played with old time legends such as Bill Monroe and had success with Reno & Smiley in the sixties. He is widely known for the song "Dueling Banjos" and The Reno & Smiley song "I'm Long Gone" is on the soundtrack to the movie " Oh Brother Where Art Thou". In the beginning of the year 2000 Don Wayne and Dale joined the rockgrass band Hayseed Dixie who traveled Europe with great success for many years. In 2012 they decided to go back to where they came from, to the music that they were bred on: true bluegrass! The chosen few who have had a sneak peak to "You Got The Silver" got associations to Rose Maddox and Patsy Cline. We are just fine with that! ;) Going back in time, recording songs like they did way back then has given this album a wonderful country feeling that suits Karin perfectly! Just as she wished for! The album will be released October the 17th 2014! http://www.karinwright.com/ http://renoandharrell.com/
