Description

The debut solo album from the co-founder and former lead singer/frontman/ guitarist with the GRAMMY-Award winning Steep Canyon Rangers.
Featuring Del McCoury, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Brian Sutton, Darrell Scott, Shannon Whitworth, Barry Bales, Daren Shumaker and Bennett Sullivan, Jason Carter, Casey Driessen, Rob McCoury, Buddy Melton and Trey Hensley.
One of the most charismatic frontmen in modern bluegrass, Woody Platt has played an important part in shaping the trajectory of bluegrass music over the past 20 years. As a founding member and lead singer for The Steep Canyon Rangers, Platt spent years touring tirelessly, many of them in collaboration with actor/comedian and banjoist Steve Martin, earning a GRAMMY award, multiple GRAMMY nominations, and international recognition in the process. But when the pandemic struck, the time at home caused Platt to rethink his personal priorities. He decided to put his touring life on hold and left the Rangers to spend more time with his young family. Fortunately for bluegrass fans, the end of Platts tenure with The Rangers has marked a new chapter in his musical life, one that he is celebrating with the release of his first solo album, Far Away With You. The album cements Platts place at the cutting edge where traditional and contemporary bluegrass meet, and his smooth baritone vocals, coupled with his ear for lyrics with contemporary themes create a sonic palette that honors his bluegrass roots even as he cultivates new growth.
