Crandall Creek is out with an exciting new bluegrass “bluesy” single, “Don’t Come Knockin,’” featuring the spectacular lead vocals by Carly Greer.
Band leader, guitarist, and the primary songwriter of the group, Jerry Andrews, shared a fascinating insight into the creation of the new single. He revealed, “I had 12 lines plus the melody of ‘Don’t Come Knockin’ recorded in my phone for a while. I knew this one was right in Carly’s wheelhouse. During a practice at Stonewall Jackson’s summer home in Beverly, West Virginia (thank you Arden Swecker and Amanda Reese,) I presented it to the band. Fifteen minutes later it was complete, and we had a blast! Carly contributed lyrics and verses, helped with structure, and then Kathy added the finishing touches.”
The single, produced by Jamie Peck, features the talents of Crandall Creek members Carly Greer on lead vocal, Kathy Wigman Lesnock on harmony vocal, Jerry Andrews on rhythm guitar, and Dustin Terpenning on banjo. Guest musicians include Andy Leftwich on fiddle, lead guitar, mandolin, and Darrin Vincent on bass.
