In a recent blog post, Keller Williams shared his account of some time he spent in Nashville recording with the McCoury family. The day included a studio session with the Travelin’ McCourys, in which the quintet recorded three songs. One of these, a Williams original entitled “Broken Convertible,” has just premiered over on Relix.com.

In the posting, which can read in its entirety on Kellerwilliams.net Williams spoke a bit about the session and his time with the McCourys:

I had a surreal day in Nashville with the McCoury family. I’m very lucky to be hooked up as a Travelin’ McCoury for a few select shows this fall. We are playing the Magnolia Fest in Florida as well as the VooDoo Fest in New Orleans. In case you don’t know, the Travelin’ McCourys consists of Jason Carter on fiddle, Alan Bartram on bass, Rob McCoury on banjo, and Ronnie McCoury on mandolin. Rob and Ronnie are the sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury and all 4 are Del’s backing band. I’m also happy to announce that I’m a part of the Delloween weekend which will be in Covington, Kentucky at Madison Theater and the Jefferson Center in Roanoke, Virginia on 10/28 and 10/29. Both shows will start with me, loop-less. Meaning sans electronics. Meaning me with a guitar and a microphone. Old school. After me will be The Del McCoury Band followed by the Travelin’ McCourys. The reason for my day in Nashville was to play with, get to know the band, and record a few songs in the process. 
We recorded 3 tunes and I had an absolute blast. Walking into a situation like this has potential for weirdness. There was none. In fact, I left there charged, inspired, and excited for our next hang. We recorded “Hobo Song”>”e.m.d”>“Hobo Song”, “Mullet Cut,” and a new one of mine called “Broken Convertible. I’m unsure when or if I will be able to share the tracks but as soon as I can, I will as I am proud of the recordings and my involvement with such a class act.

Speaking of class act, after our 8 hours together the band went to join Del for one of their numerous appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. One of if not the longest running radio show out of Nashville. Steeped in history, the backstage walls are covered with photos of country music legends. This year, Del McCoury will be inducted into the bluegrass hall of fame. It was an honor to see Del and the boys in such a prestigious venue. Del and I talked about his 1956 martin guitar that I almost drooled on because of its coolness. Luckily I did not. Being there and talking with Del was the perfect way to cap off such a surreal Nashville day. But the day wasn’t over.”
