Comprised of all former members of The Lonesome River Band (whose landmark album Carrying The Tradition was released on Rebel Records nearly thirty years ago), the Band of Ruhks re-unite Ronnie Bowman, Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith, while adding former LRB banjoman Brian Fesler, to a band that straddles the line between bluegrass favorite and roots music trailblazer with ease. The band's sophomore album (produced by Ben Isaacs), and first for Rebel Records, is a showcase of both the band's love for bluegrass, while greeting the future with a sneaky grin. Appropriately entitled Authentic, the album is filled with nearly all originals, performed with sincerity and passion.
