Sam Bush, Del McCoury, Paul Barrere and Jim Lauderdale are among the artists who participated in the sessions for the second studio release from Drew Emmitt.

The Drew Emmitt Band, which also features Ross Martin, Greg Garrison and Chris Pandolfi, will be at the Grand Emporium in Kansas City next Friday, July 22, followed by gigs over the weekend at Magnolia Fest Midwest in Bean Blossom, IN.
