Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out is one of bluegrass music’s most beloved bands, so it should come as no surprise that Cracker Barrel tapped them to be a part of its CB Records series. The album, Timeless Hits From the Past Bluegrassed, is a collection of songs from several genres of music, including bluegrass, country and pop that will be released in January.
“We always look for a bluegrass album to include in releases for our exclusive music program, and as we evaluated our options, IIIrd Tyme Out stood out due to their quality and authenticity,” says Julie Craig, who manages the music program at Cracker Barrel. “It was kind of mutual, because as we reached out to their folks they were in contact with us.”   
“The song selection came out of a collective effort from the band members, as well as Josh Trivett and Peter Keiser from Moonstruck Management and representatives from Cracker Barrel,” explains Russell Moore, lead singer for IIIrd Tyme Out. “We discussed a theme for the recording, and what we settled on and what we felt would work best for us was songs that influenced us as we were growing up in music and helped shape us later in our careers. Of course every one of us have listened to country music, so when you start talking about that, at our age and what our influences were, you go back to George Jones and Merle Haggard, singers from that era. So we started looking at that era of music and then came forward.”
As group members looked back on music they listened to after Jones and Haggard, they began to talk about entertainers like Gene Watson, John Denver and Travis Tritt, as well as some of bluegrass tunes that influenced them in later years.                                                      
The resulting play list went from Travis Tritt’s “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde” to Gene Watson’s “Farewell  Party.” It included “The Old Home Place” by J.D. Crowe & The New South, “Tulsa Time” by Don Williams and “Only You” by The Platters, along with “Golden Ring” by George Jones and Tammy Wynette and “Mama  Tried” by Merle Haggard, plus five more classics.
