"I'm so honored to have three generations of Chapmans and my 'bluegrass big brother' Rick Skaggs sing along with me on this recording," says Chapman. "I had the privilege of playing music with some of the best 'pickers' in the world while making the record I've always wanted to make, thanks to a collaboration with my friends at Cracker Barrel and plenty of biscuits on hand. As folks listen, I hope they will be inspired by the messages in each song."
