The Grascals Celebrate #1 Song During Studio Session

The award-winning Grascals celebrated their #1 song, "Heartbreak Hall Of Fame," during a recent recording session at Crossroads Studios.
The song, which reached the #1 spot on the Bluegrass Today chart earlier this year, merges vintage Country with modern Bluegrass in just the right way. Written by Larry Joe Cox, Ray Edwards and Dicky Minor, it tells the story of unrequited love and a man whose suffering is endured through this bitter lament.
"Somewhere in the record books, There will be your name
And a list of all the hearts you broke while you played your cheatin' game"
"Heartbreak Hall Of Fame" will be on The Grascals' upcoming album, which they're working to finish in the studio. Mountain Home presented them with plaques to commemorate the single's success.
"The Grascals are excited to be back in the studio finishing this album," says Danny Roberts, mandolinist. "We really appreciate the recognition from Mountain Homefor our first #1 from it."

About The Grascals
Great musicians will always find a way to make good music, but for great musicians to make great music, they must form a bond - one that, more often than not, goes beyond the purely musical to the personal. For The Grascals, that bond has been forged at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than forty years.
Their cutting-edge modern bluegrass is delivered with a deep knowledge of, and admiration for, the work of the music's founding fathers. Timely yet timeless, The Grascals make music that is entirely relevant to the here and now, yet immersed in traditional values of soul and musicianship. It's a unique sound that has earned three Grammy® nominations and two Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, as well as national media attention that seems to perpetually elude acts entrenched in niche genres. Such appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox & Friends, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and CBS' The Talk. All the while, stages that represent the strongest bastions of tradition continually welcome them, as evidenced by the over 150 performances on the Grand Ole Opry. Honors also include performing twice for President George W. Bush and at President Barack Obama's inaugural ball at the Smithsonian.
As their records prove, The Grascals' rare musical empathy gives them an unerring ear for just the right touch to illuminate each offering's deepest spirit - whether they're digging into one of their original songs or reworking a bluegrass classic or a pop standard. Take for instance, fan favorite, "Last Train to Clarksville." Non-bluegrass listeners enjoy a new take on a familiar song, while diehard bluegrass audiences who may have never heard the Monkees classic, respond in-kind, not even realizing that the song has been Grascalized.
