(29 July 2018) Balsam Range drop second summer single, "Hobo Blues" on July 27
There is a deep tradition in Bluegrass of performing Southern blues ballads with Bluegrass instrumentation, and no one can do it better than the award-winning Balsam Range. With lead vocals from guitarist Caleb Smith, "Hobo Blues" (Mountain Home Music Company | Amazon UK - UK iTunes) written by Ray LaMontagne, is a cross-picked stroll through lonesome lyrics and a sad story of a down-on-his-luck character singing through his hardships.  "I don't know whose life you're living, but it sure ain't mine," he sings — a lament about a life misled.
Haunting dobro from Tim Surrett, harmonies from Buddy Melton and feathering mandolin from Darren Nicholson supply the dark mood to "Hobo Blues" that leaves you listening hard to this unexpected heartfelt Balsam Range song.
Balsam Range, formed in 2007, has become one of the genre’s most award-winning acts in recent years, garnering 10 International Bluegrass Media Association Awards on the heels of six critically-acclaimed albums. The group has left audiences spellbound while headlining major festivals from coast-to-coast, selling out venues across the nation and in multiple appearances at the Grand Ole Opry.

COUNTRY GOSSIP
(28 July 2018) Taylor Swift gave local authorities in Weymouth, Massachusetts a morale boost following the loss of a police officer by donating hundreds of tickets for her Thursday night (26 July 2018) concert.
Weymouth Mayor Robert Hedlund reveals the Blank Space hitmaker sent emergency service officials "a significant number of tickets" for the first show in her three-night run at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts to try and lift their spirits after learning of the tragic death of Sergeant Michael Chesna.
The officer was shot and killed after arriving at the scene of a car crash on 15 July (18). The suspect is also accused of killing a female bystander.
It's not known exactly how many tickets Swift gave to first responders, but Hedlund explains the bundle had more than enough for the local forces, and extras were shared among other nearby police departments.
"My understanding is that they did it low-key and weren't looking for publicity," Hedlund told The Patriot Ledger. "There were enough to send every police officer, firefighter and extended family to the concert, and then some."
Thanking Swift for the kind thought on behalf of the town, he added, "The gesture was absolutely generous, significant and appreciated."
