Amanda Cook, a leading voice in modern bluegrass, has released the single “Love Through Time,” the title track for her forthcoming album.
Cook wrote the song with creative input from bandmates Justin Alexander and Troy Boone, whose instrumentation and arrangement shaped its direction. The story draws on her own life; she and her husband celebrated 28 years of marriage in August, and she began the lyrics in 2019 to reflect that experience.
“‘Love Through Time’ is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written,” shared Cook. “I wanted something on this album that truly reflected our story, the ups, the growth, the deep connection we’ve nurtured over the years. With help from Justin and Troy, the song came to life. The chorus says it all: we’ve weathered every season together, hand in hand, and we’re still standing strong.”
Her touring band appears on the recording: Carolyne Van Lierop Boone (banjo), Troy Boone (mandolin), Justin Alexander (guitar), Joshua Faul (bass), and George Mason (fiddle). Cook leads with clear, emotive vocals, while the ensemble provides cohesive support.
