Description:
Musician Tim Hensley has served extended stints with Ricky Skaggs, Patty Loveless and Kenny Chesney. LONG MONDAY, a debut album that merges vintage bluegrass with classic American songwriters and acoustic songs of life. Vince Gill, Sonya Isaacs and Loveless all make guest appearances on LONG MONDAY. Songs from John Prine, Rodney Crowell, Carl Jackson and Larry Cordle, John Scott Sherrill, Tim Stafford and Ronnie Bowman, and Hensley himself, this is a first record that sums up a lifetime of living inside the music. Since learning to sing in a Pentecostal family, then becoming part of the Altar Way Singers, the Cincinnati-born and raised tenor harmony singer has slowly moved through a odyssey of bluegrass, country covers, Skaggs’ bluegrass/country hybrid and Loveless’ Appalachian Soul. His stint at the auxiliary acoustic/electric rhythm guitarist and tenor singer with Kenny Chesney has put him in front of over a million people every year for the last six summers – and it’s Tim’s love of bluegrass that inspired the multiple CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year to co-produce Hensley’s record with creative cohort and ACM Song of the Year writer Buddy Cannon. |
