SONG QUOTE: “My wife, Beckie heard the Johnson Mountain Boys performing this song. On the radio and thought it would be a great song for me to do. When I listened to it, I could hear my buddy, Del McCoury cutting the tenor the meanest ever! Then the Del McCoury Band came in and we recorded it! This recording is special to me. Because Del, Ronnie, Rob, Jason, and Alan are good friends of mine. We all go way back. When it comes to making traditional Bluegrass music, there’s none better. I’m honored to have them on my project.” – David Parmley
David began his musical career at age 15. By the time he turned 17, he began his full-time career as a member of The Bluegrass Cardinals. That band featured his father, Don Parmley, and David’s lead and baritone voice was the backbone of The Bluegrass Cardinal sound. During a 25-year period, The Bluegrass Cardinals recorded 18 albums. These albums are considered the finest to come out of the 70s and ’80s Bluegrass era.
David Parmely left The Bluegrass Cardinals in the 90’s to pursue a solo career. Leaning more towards a modern approach to Bluegrass Music. David Parmley and Continental Divide topped the Bluegrass Charts throughout the 90s. And now Parmley is back and excited to be recording again and creating new music. As well as keeping the family tradition alive!
