The History of Graylen Cook Project
I have played music with many people, but I have never been in a band that was just exactly what I wanted. So I decided to create just that band. I wanted a band who could play anything from Bluegrass to Country to Western Swing, early rock to gospel. These are all influeneces of mine and each type of music had some great songs!
I have been a picker for many years. I started playing guitar in the 6th grade, banjo in the 9th. I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by some good musicians along the way. I have always tried to be playing with someone on at least a semi-regular basis, although groups come and go.
Now, I have decided that I will get my music into the hands of the public on my own terms, which means I will not be dependant on record companies. That's why I started my own label, which is called Lard Bucket Records. It's and old joke in bluegrass that someone on stage would say, "Here is our new song. It's out on the Lard Bucket Label." I always liked that joke, for some reason.
I played almost all the parts on "ALL MINE!" and "The Copyright Album" with the help of who ever was hanging around at the time. Barry Owings played dobro on "I'll Never Be Sorry!", while Joel Nielsen played guitar on "Nothing I Can Say (Or Do)". George Icard and Rick Wyatt played guitar and bass on "In Love, That's What I Am".
I played guitar, bass, dobro, mandolin, banjo, and keyboards on "ALL MINE!" On "The Copyright Album"
I even played a song on the fiddle. I had a great time recording them. I hope you will enjoy listening to it!
