Pavement and Pathways... No Lane Changes Next 1/4 Mile




UM EVENTS
Urban Monroes News
June 2011







We officially released Pavement and Pathways in May and the response couldn't have been better. We were in the top sellers at various outlets. We had three singles released from the album on Kentucky's Poetman Records. The singles were "You Don't Have To Move that Mountain", "When the Aspens Turn" and "Time of Your Life".  The CD showed up on many different charts and we appreciated all of the attention it got and the people who featured our music. We especially want to thank Gentleman Jim from World Wide Bluegrass who has been playing our music on every show, twice a week since 2008. We could never thank him enough for his support and friendship.  We selected the song "Secret Agent Man" and recorded it with Jim in mind. It's dedicated to him and his show Bluegrass in the BASSment. So when we got the following review from Backroads Bluegrass yesterday, it made us very happy:  
"The piece de resistance was "Secret Agent Man".  What a great finish!!  I was speechless the entire time thisproject was playing." 

Some of the songs from the album were released as singles in prior months in advance of the release of the full project and the following are some of the charts that we have been on going back to October.
