Darin and Brooke Aldridge gear up for the February 10 release of their newest CD, FASTER AND FARTHER, introducing two fresh tracks to Bluegrass and Country fans via three online outlets.  The Boot premieres "Someday Soon," while Bluegrass Today spotlights the song.  A second tune, "Mountains In Mississippi," debuts on Roughstock The CD is from Mountain Home Music Company and fans can pre-order HERE now.  Radio can download the new disc via AirPlay Direct

Today's highlighted songs show the duo's talent is based upon diversity, insight and unequalled delivery.  Brooke is a longtime fan of Ian Tyson's classic "Someday Soon" (both Judy Collins' and Suzy Bogguss' versions).  She notes, "We've always played it around the house, but we'd never heard it done in a Bluegrass framework.  It seemed like a song folks would like to hear coming back around."  As for "Mountains In Mississippi," Jenee Fleenor (one of the song's writers) was so moved when she heard the finished recording that she had to sit down.  Fleenor recalls, "I was just blown away when I heard Darin and Brooke's version of the song.  Then to hear Vince Gill's incredible harmony added to the mix? So amazing!"

"Amazing" is exactly how Brooke has described the last few months.  "We had such an incredible time making this record," she recalls.  "So many remarkable writers and fellow artists lent us their talents and joy.  It's been a phenomenal experience."  Taking that experience - and the music forward -  is their goal for 2017, and Darin and Brooke are well on their way.  The couple returns tomorrow from The Country Music Cruise (Holland America Line m/s Oosterdam), and they'll be back on the road stateside with February shows in North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia.
