Darren Nicholson, mandolinist with Balsam Range, has a new solo project to start 2014.
Things Left Undone finds Darren with some of the top names in bluegrass on 12 tracks of new and classic bluegrass, and a pair of bonus tracks with his own Darren Nicholson Band. Assisting are Rhonda Vincent, Carl Jackson, Tim Surrett, John Driskill Hopkins, Audie Blaylock, Aaron Ramsey, Steve Thomas and many others.
The Darren Nicholson Band is a group of old friends who perform together as their various commitments allow, which is less and less often given Balsam Range’ touring schedule. It consists of Steve Sutton on banjo, Kevin Sluter on bass and Griff Martin on guitar.
A complete track listing follows:
- Things Left Undone (Paul Thorn, William Maddox)
- Durango (Shawn Camp, Guy Clark)
- I’m Not Going There Today (Josh Matheny, Charlie Worsham, Donny Fallgatter)
- Dancin’ In The Kitchen (Ashley Caudill)
- Bluegrass Stomp (Bill Monroe)
- Like My Dog (Harley Allen, Scotty Emerick)
