REVIEW: GONE COUNTRY MAGAZINE

Randy Kohrs is certainly not a newcomer to any fan of bluegrass based music, however with his current single “Who’s Goin’ With Me” getting a whole lot of play on GAC and CMT, even being in the top 10 on the fan voted “Pure 12 Pack” for the past few weeks, Kohrs is quickly gaining new fans and I am happy to say I am one of them. With his latest offering Kohrs delivers honest lyrics with the subject matter ranging from an everyday woman (Lena Mae), to more spiritual subject matter (Can You Give Me A Drink) to his current single (Who’s Goin’ With Me) that combines his spiritual side with a great story about falling for the preacher’s daughter as an adolescent. Randy Kohrs musically brings modern bluegrass to the table but is smart enough to combine it with a modern country feel that you find spread throughout the mainstream in bands like Little Big Town. As with a majority of bluegrass music, the musicianship is a key element to the music. You will usually find outstanding musicians on bluegrass albums and you have that here as well. From banjo, to mandolin, to a guest spot from the Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent on “Don’t Let Your Wounded Heart Come Between Us,” Kohrs takes his bluegrass influenced style and packages it perfectly for any fan of modern country and I suspect that even those that aren’t bluegrass fans will love Randy Kohrs style and vocals and will quickly be adding “Old Photograph” to their collections of music.
