“Another Highway This Time” (Mountain Fever Records) is the new single by bluegrass singer and bandleader Amanda Cook, written by Thomm Jutz and Mark Fain.
“Thomm sent me the demo of “Another Highway This Time” in early 2021, shortly after the passing of our best friend and guitar player Aaron ‘Frosty’ Foster. To me, the song perfectly expressed how I was feeling,” Amanda says. “We know that we will always cherish the memories we have with Frosty from our travels and time together as a band. We recorded it as an uplifting remembrance of an incredible person that we were lucky enough to have called our friend. The bluegrass world lost so many beloved members of our community this year, and I truly believe ‘Another Highway This Time’ is a song we can all relate to about loss. It’s comforting to know it’s not the end, like the lyrics say, ‘It’s Just Another Highway This Time.”
The musicians on “Another Highway This Time” include Amanda Cook on lead vocal; Carolyne Van Lierop on banjo and harmony vocal; Troy Boone on mandolin and harmony vocal; Josh Faul on bass; George Mason on fiddle; and Brady Wallen on guitar.
Amanda Cook has achieved substantial success with her recent singles, including “Get On Board,” and “Lonesome Leaving Train“. Amanda’s critically acclaimed album “Narrowing the Gap” was released in 2021.
