The three-time International Bluegrass
Music Association (IBMA) Entertainers of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year Jamie Dailey and Darrin
Vincent are known for intertwining Gospel music in their shows and recorded music. "Once again, we are pleased to be associated with Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and excited to lend our styles of Gospel music on our newest endeavor, The Gospel Side of Dailey and Vincent," said Dailey.
The Gospel Side of Dailey &
Vincent is the group's second CD in the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® exclusive music program. "Bluegrass, Country and Gospel are common threads of
America and with Cracker Barrel, so their guests are the same folks we perform for and reach out to through radio, TV, and CDs," explained Darrin Vincent. "We offered the idea of a Gospel album to Cracker Barrel's Marketing Manager
Julie Craig. She thought it would be a good fit since our first Cracker Barrel release, Dailey &
Vincent Sing the Statler Brothers, had done well and won Bluegrass Album of the Year in 2010, plus a Grammy® Award nomination."
On January 5, Jamie Dailey and Darrin
Vincent will visit WSM's The Eddie Stubbs Show for an exclusive world premiere of The Gospel Side of Dailey & Vincent.
