The Radio
Ramblers, a collaboration of veteran Bluegrass musicians, have
become one of the most sought after Bluegrass acts in the Midwest.
This band
formed in 2006 for the primary purpose of performing at Classic
Country Radio promotions. Due to their level of professionalism and talent,
the requests for performances by the Radio Ramblers has grown,
thus expanding their schedule to include shows at area music venues,
benefits, and festivals.
The Radio
Ramblers are comprised of Joe Mullins on banjo,
Mike Terry on
mandolin, Evan McGregor on fiddle,
Adam McIntosh on guitar and
Tim
Kidd on bass and released their debut CD, Tuned In,
in 2007 and most recently, Rambler's Call in February
2009.

The Radio
Ramblers released their sophomore album, Rambler's Call,
February 20.
After
three years of performing and recording, the band is thankful to have
developed a classic Bluegrass blend and assemble a diverse set of old
and new songs that fit together very well. The group offers so much
vocal variety with this CD. Highlights include “The Old Rocking Chair”
written by Mullins’ former band mate, Gerald Evans Jr. Also featured,
a grassy treatment of Marty Stuart’s “Farmer’s Blues” with Mullins' high
lead vocals and guest Matt DeSpain on dobro.
The band
dedicated the new CD project in memory of Joe’s dad, Paul “Moon”
Mullins, who passed away in 2008. A few of the rare tunes in the disc
were featured on his radio show hundreds of times. “Old Blue Tomorrow”
is an obscure album cut from an old George Jones release. “Boston
Jail” and “Another Day, Another Dollar” are tunes with an old-time
flavor that Joe heard his dad play by Porter Wagoner many years ago.
