Joe Ross - Bluegrass Alphabet
- Joe Ross’s new album, Bluegrass Alphabet, contains songs that make you feel and think. The opening title track is a fun, clever, original composition by Ross that uses the letters of the alphabet to share knowledge of bluegrass music and its history with listeners. “The Place Where I Was Born” makes you feel nostalgic as Ross takes you on a trip back to the time and place where he was born, while “My Desert Home” brings the imagery of the Nevada desert to your mind’s eye. “You Can Make a Difference,” with its social message, is one of Ross’s songs where he makes you think, in this case, about taking action to protect the environment. Ross sings lead vocals on the 11 songs he wrote for the 12-track album. He also plays guitar, mandolin and bass on many of the songs. Several bluegrass artists also make appearances on Bluegrass Alphabet, including Tim Crouch, Ben Green, James King, Randy Kohrs and Ron Stewart, just to name a few. The songs on Bluegrass Alphabet are all delivered with emotion, from brightness to melancholy, that will captivate listeners of Joe Ross, both new and old.
