Bringing together some of the world’s most highly lauded musicians in Matt Menefee (banjo-Mumford & Sons, Cadillac Sky, Warren Haynes), Barry Bales (bass-Alison Krauss & Union Station) backing up the vocal magic of Jenee Fleenor (fiddle-George Strait, Blake Shelton, Larry Cordle) and Josh Martin (singer/songwriter/guitarist), this unit has over a century of musical seasoning between them, promising a rich, dynamic, and unparalleled auditory experience.
The dynamic collection of songs within this 12 track album, includes standout songs such as, “Cross the Line,” the group’s first number one on Bluegrass Today chart, marking a significant milestone in their career. “Man oh man, what a ride ‘Cross the Line’ has given us thus far,” said Josh Martin of Wood Box Heroes. “It really hit the ground running as our first single of 2024, and now, being the band’s first song to chart at #1 is really fitting. It’s a recklessly wild and energetic tune about the need to break away from the real world every now and then, especially after you’ve spent a night or two in the proverbial Heartbreak City, to the point of feeling the need to ‘cross the line’. And the gang absolutely put the hammer down on this record!”
