Search - Ron Block :: Walking Song

Ron Block has long since secured his reputation as a deeply thoughtful and accomplished musician. After two decades as part of Alison Krauss band, Union Station, with whom he s earned a collection of Grammy®, IBMA, and Dove awards, as well as many years as a songwriter and sideman for the likes of Rhonda Vincent, Randy Travis, The Boxcars, The Cox Family, Dailey & Vincent, Dolly Parton, and Vince Gill, Block now presents his third solo album, Walking Song. This collection of songs contains the richest range of sentiments that Block has ever taken up, from the ultimate longings of the soul to the joy and wonder of being alive. With assistance from new co-writer Rebecca Reynolds, Block moves skillfully across multiple genres of acoustic music, presenting his take on Scots-Irish balladry, Appalachian fiddle tunes, bluegrass romps, singer-songwriter narratives, and, for good measure, grooving newgrass. On Walking Song Block calls upon Union Station band mates, as well as Alison Krauss and an array of other top-notch musical guests, to complement his sparkling work.
