Rural Rhythm Records is proud to announce the May 22, 2012 album release, NEW BLUEGRASS & OLD HEARTACHES by BOBBY OSBORNE & THE ROCKY TOP X-PRESS.  The album was produced by Glen Duncan, Bobby Osborne and Boj (Bobby Osborne, Jr.) and contains new and old songs that will surely delight Bobby’s fans worldwide and celebrate his impressive 60 year career.

Highlights from NEW BLUEGRASS & OLD HEARTACHES include the first single release, “I’m Going Back To The Mountain” written by Jake Landers who also penned “The Old Oak Tree.”  A newly recorded “Muddy Waters” written Phil Rosenthal is certainly another stand out track as well.  The song was originally intended for release on the Osborne Brothers last Decca Records album in the early 70’s, but never released. Other highlights include a wonderful rediscovered song Bobby wrote many years ago titled “The Last Bridge You’ll Ever Burn” plus a newly written anthem type song titled “Born In Kentucky”.
