Manchester’s sweetheart (and resident Blue Grass Super Star), Becky Buller on January 2, 2025, released a new single, Reach, from her upcoming Covers album on Dark Shadow Recording.
Here’s a sample of the song:
Becky told Thunder Radio:
Buller is the recipient of 10 IBMA awards, including the 2016 Fiddler and Female Vocalist. She is the first woman to receive the Fiddler nod; she is also the first person to win in both vocal and instrumental categories. Her other awards include the 2020 Collaborative Recording for “The Barber’s Fiddle” and the 2020 Song for co-writing and fiddling on Special Consensus’ “Chicago Barn Dance.”
She has made guest appearances on WSM’s Grand Ole Opry and tours with the Becky Buller Band. Distance And Time, her third album for the Dark Shadow Recording label, was a nominee for the 2021 IBMA Album award. Her first Christmas collection, The Perfect Gift, released during the 2022 holiday season.
Buller co-wrote “Freedom,” the lead-off track of The Infamous Stringdusters’ Laws of Gravity (2018 Best Bluegrass Grammy), “The Shaker” on The Travelin’ McCoury’s self-titled release (2019 Best Bluegrass Grammy), and “Good-bye Girl” on Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway’s Crooked Tree album (2023 Best Bluegrass Grammy).
Reach features her pickin’ pals Alison Brown (banjo); Missy Raines (bass); Sierra Hull (mandolin); and Molly Tuttle (guitar).
Perhaps you recognize this song from its debut on the 1977 Orleans’ album Waking And Dreaming? Or maybe, like Becky, you first heard the New Grass Revival’s version of “Reach” on their Commonwealth album? Both cuts are incredible.
“The gals bring their own flare to the track, but really make me grin each time I hear their instrumental nods to the New Grass guys, whom we all hold in high regard,” said Becky. “The empowering message drew me in, the smokin’ hot, gospel-infused ending makes me dance. I had to include this on my covers album.”
