NEW SINGLE RELEASED FROM RANDY KOHRS

Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Randy Kohrs Official Website) - It's been over two years since artist Randy Kohrs put out his last solo album, the critically acclaimed "Old Photograph," and the highly-anticipated follow-up, "Quicksand," his second project on Rural Rhythm records, is due out this fall. To quell fans until then, the first single, 'Devil of the Trail,' has been sent to radio stations around the world.

As is evident by his previous four CD's, prominent resonator guitarist and Grammy-winning producer Randy Kohrs has an affinity for storytelling songs, and 'Devil of the Trail' follows in that same vein. Based on a true account, his powerful tenor voice vividly chronicles the journey of a young lady named Sarah as she braves the elements for the promise of a new and better life at the other end of the treacherous Oregon Trail. Penned by Kohrs, along with his frequent collaborators Dennis Goodwin and Ashley Brown, this song represents the more bluegrass-oriented side of his upcoming varied, all-acoustic project.

'I've been careful to simply call Quicksand an acoustic Americana CD as I got to stretch out a bit musically, much like I did with my last one, but even more so,' Kohrs describes. 'There's plenty of driving bluegrass on it for the more hardcore bluegrass fans, however, and 'Devil of the Trail' is a good example of my own personal taste and style in that field.'

The supporting cast of the single includes Nashville artist/songwriter Shannon Lawson on harmony vocals, Alison Krauss and Union Station's Ron Block on banjo, and AKUS alum Adam Steffey on mandolin, just to name a few and whet your appetite. Other notables found on Quicksand include A-list Nashville guitarist Bryan Sutton, world-renowned banjoist Scott Vestal, and Regina and Anne McCrary, sisters whose gospel lineage - their father was a founding member of the legendary Fairfield Four - lends itself soulfully to a couple of delta blues-infused tracks.

Kohrs has not been resting on his laurels in between projects and, in addition to the self-produced "Quicksand," the top Nashville session musician, with credits ranging from Dierks Bentley to Little Big Town to Dolly Parton, is working on a country project, as well, aimed at the more mainstream commercial country format.
