About the artists
A bluegrass band with a large dose of gospel thrown in, NewFound Road formed
on the 4th of July, 2001, in southwest Ohio. Based out of Franklin, OH, the
group, which included Tim Shelton (guitar), Rob Baker, Jr. Williams (banjo), and
Tim Caudill (bass), decided at the start to keep a traditional acoustic bluegrass
sound anchored by strong vocal harmonies. When Caudill left the band, he was
replaced by Randy Barnes, who had previously played with Rhonda Vincent.
The group recorded a pair of gospel albums with producer Ben Isaacs, including
2003's Full Heart, released by Crossroads Records. The third album, though,
2005's Somewhere Between, took NFR in a decidedly secular direction, and the
band ended up signing with Rounder Records, which released Life in a Song in
2006.
By the time of NFR's second Rounder release, 2009's Same Old Place, the
lineup of the band included Shelton and Williams along with Joe Booher on
mandolin and Jamey Booher on bass.
Their sound remained the same, though, sticking close to a traditional bluegrass
style.
