Irene Kelley releases new album "Benny's TV Repair"

WILLIS, VA - Listeners have already enjoyed her very successful singles, "Something About A Train Sound" and "Bluegrass Radio," and now Mountain Fever Records is delighted to release Irene Kelley's new album in its entirety. Benny's TV Repair got its name from Irene's love and admiration for her father, Benny, who was a TV repairman. He taught himself how to fix things through a correspondence course in the mail, and that is where the story begins in the album's title track.
