Showing his Bluegrass roots, and proud to, is Kentucky boy Larry Cordle - one of the most versatile and creative songwriters and performers in bluegrass and country music. Whether it’s a hard driving, fast-paced tune or a slow, sincere ballad - you just can’t top what this man does with a song. The songs featured on this project are all indicative of his talent and those of his friends and you have to experience each one to get the fullness of the goodness contained in the music. While all of these songs are fantastic, my favorite pick is Song for Keith - a heat-rendered tribute to Keith Whitley. This one will touch you to the core. Rough Around the Edges got everyone’s attention right away because it’s hot, hot, hot! Besides Lonesome Standard Time you get lots of other pickers who can sing too like Randy Kohrs, Kim Gardner, Dave Talbot, Travis Tritt. Gotta have this one.  BMP
