Description
A host of new and established country, bluegrass and roots music artists join forces with the world renowned Chieftains for a series of historic Nashville sessions celebrating the ties that bind Ireland's enduring musical heritage to the heartland of America.
The Chieftans were formed in 1962 by Paddy Maloney, from the ranks of the top musicians in Ireland. Although their early following was purely a folk audience, the range and variation of their music very quickly captured a much broader public, making them today the best know Irish band in the world. The Chieftan's music remains as fresh and relevant today as when they first began.
The album's fourteen tracks feature performances by Vince Gilll, Martina McBride, Lyle Lovet and Patti Griffin. Legendary instrumentalist Earl Scruggs as well as the eclectic Bela Fleck are also highlighted, as are the bluegrass virtuosos Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss and Jeff White. 'Down the Old Plank Road' also spotlights special guests John Hiatt along with the duos Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings and Buddy and Julie Miller. The album is produced by Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney.
