The Grascals, who are among the most beloved and acclaimed bands on today's bluegrass scene, won SPBGMA's Bluegrass Band of the Year award in 2010, the International Bluegrass Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year award in 2005 and earned its Entertainer of the Year honor in both 2006 and 2007. They teamed up with eight of their famous friends on the crossover album The Grascals and Friends: Country Classics With a Bluegrass Spinthat Cracker Barrel released in January 2011. Those famous friends included Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, The Oak Ridge Boys, Joe Nichols and Darryl Worley. A visit to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital led the group to write the bonus track "I Am Strong" for the album. In honor of The Grascals caring spirit, Cracker Barrel donated a percentage of the proceeds from the CD to the hospital. The CD was recently ranked #6 on the Billboard.com Top 50 Bluegrass Albums of 2011.

The 2011 Grammy-nominated (Best Country Performance by a Vocal Group or Duo) Dailey & Vincent Sing The Statler Brothers album debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Bluegrass Albums chart, where it spent nine weeks in the top position and 19 weeks overall in one of the three top positions when it was released on February 1, 2010. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent recognized the timeless quality of the Statlers' songs and the project resonated with Cracker Barrel's guests. The CD continued as an audience favorite in 2011 and was recently ranked #17 on the Billboard.com Top 50 Bluegrass Albums of 2011. In addition the album was hailed as Bluegrass music's 2010 "Album of the Year" (IBMA & SPGMA).

"We are thrilled with the success that these two outstanding bluegrass groups have earned," said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager Julie Craig. "This type of recognition reinforces our commitment to offer authenticity and quality through the Cracker Barrel exclusive music program. The Grascals and Dailey & Vincent are exceptional in the world of bluegrass and we are honored to work with them."
