It is good to be the king. And that is precisely what Del McCoury—backed by arguably the most formidable bluegrass outfit in existence—remains.

The band’s leader/patriarch/namesake is one Delano Floyd “Del” McCoury, a nimble, inventive guitarist and a master of the “high lonesome” vocal style that is the foundation of the bluegrass sound. The band’s instrumental and vocal firepower combined with deep-rooted dedication to bluegrass heritage have kept them at the top of their field in the hearts of traditionalists, while willingness to incorporate writers from eclectic sources have continued to spread the boundaries of their influence.
