Group Gives MONKEES 1966 Hit A Country\/Bluegrass Twist<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Nashville, TN<\/strong> –Two-time International Bluegrass Music Association Entertainers of the Year, The Grascals (www.grascals.com<\/a>), invite country radio to jump on board their latest release, “Last Train To Clarksville.” Delivered to programmers via CDX Vol. 501, the single is a proven winner; the driving up-tempo song was a smash for The Monkees in 1966. On the new version, three-part harmonies (Eldredge, Johnson, Smith) run throughout the track – setting this outing apart- and creating a literal “wall of sound.” The Grascals juice things up with Kristin Scott Benson’s ripping banjo and Jeremy Abshire’s amazing fiddle work. Terry Eldredge keeps the track moving with lightning-fast guitar work, while Terry Smith (bass) and Danny Roberts (mandolin) round out the group’s signature sound. “We all were familiar with this song, and it was a blast to record,” says Johnson. “We put a little grass and a little bit of country in it.” “Last Train To Clarksville” is from their newest disc, the critically-acclaimed THE FAMOUS LEFT FLYNN’S (Rounder).<\/p>\n

Pre-production is underway for a video to accompany the new release, and filming on the project begins later this month. The single is already attracting a legion of devoted bluegrass fans, debuting at #20 on the Bluegrass Music Profiles Chart, while THE FAMOUS LEFTY FLYNN’S enters at #4.<\/p>\n

“Last Train To Clarksville” is only the third single that the group has released to country radio. The hugely-popular “Viva Las Vegas” (with special guest Dolly Parton) debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top Country Singles Sales Chart in 2004 and spent over a year in the Top 10.<\/p>\n
