Our latest CD "God Lives Here" features several original songs as well as some old Bluegrass standards. Good friend Dave Demay of Song City Studios down in Nashville did a great job in the studio and with his help the band put out a CD that they're very proud of... Click on the cover to hear a few clips. JCR would like to send a special thanks to Jim VanCleve of Mountain Heart for coming in and laying down the fiddle tracks for us. Jim is one of the premier fiddle players in the entire music industry. Make sure you get out to one of Mountain Heart's shows, you won't be disappointed. We would also like to acknowledge and thank Rural Rhythm label for Jim's appearance. Don't forget to give a listen to clips from JCR's first self titled CD..."James Creek Road", also recorded at Song City Studios.

Here's a few of the nice comments from BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED'S review of "God Lives Here"... "Their latest recording is an all-gospel project with many pleasant surprises... Outstanding vocal harmonies prevail throughout...The tunes are also enhanced by the presence of fiddler Jim VanCleve... "God Lives Here" is bluegrass gospel music at its finest and an important milestone for James Creek Road..."

The band would also like to send a special thank you to Kenny Stone who accompanies JCR at several of their shows. Kenny is one of the finest fiddle players you'll ever hear. Thanks Kenny!
