Nashville, Tenn. (January 15, 2025) – Mighty Cord Records has released a new single, “Aunt Mary’s Spring,” from Green River Revue. This captivating song features the talents of Kelsey Crews on lead vocals and banjo, David Mansfield III on fiddle and vocals, James Seliga on guitar and vocals, David Freeman on mandolin and vocals, and Producer Landy Ewing on bass and vocals.
Josh Ulbrich, owner of the world-famous Station Inn in Nashville, Tennessee, said, “Being a lifelong fan of the Rice Brothers, particularly Larry Rice, I had heard Aunt Mary’s Spring many times through the years. But one night in the green room at the Station Inn a couple years ago, I heard Kelsey Crews playing and singing ‘Aunt Mary’s Spring,’ and his rendition literally captivated my attention. It was like the dust had been wiped off a beautiful old stained-glass window, letting light not seen in years through.”
“Green River Revue is a newer 5-piece bluegrass band that is loaded up with great award-winning pickers and singers. Early last year they recorded and released ‘Green River Ferryboat’ and it was a well-received by DJs and listeners all over the world. ‘Aunt Mary’s Spring’ is the latest release by this wonderful band, and I hope you give it a listen. I’m sure that you will be impressed as I was,” said Charlie Hall, The Bluegrass Express, 100.7FM WCYOfm.com.
“Aunt Mary’s Spring” originally appeared on the band’s album Opening Remarks, which had a limited release early last year. The album will be re-released nationally with two new tracks this year. “Aunt Mary’s Spring” and “Green River Ferryboat” are streaming everywhere and available to radio programmers at Airplay Direct, Get It Played, and Hope River Entertainment.

Lyrics
V1.) Walking John, the walking man, he walked on up the road. He threw up his hand and said hello. This here’s Aunt Mary’s Spring where the water is pure as gold. Lay down your weary load
V2.) Walking John, the walking man, he sat down for a spell. He grew up his hands and said I don’t know. But ain’t it a shame what the people are doing to the land, you can’t drink water from your well.
V3.) Walking John, the walking man, he walked on down the road. He threw up his hand and he said goodbye. Take care of Aunt Mary’s Spring and pray she never runs dry. Pure water is worth is weight in gold.
Ch.) Here at Aunt Mary’s Spring where the water is pure and clear. If you’re hot and dusty it satisfies for sure. Here at Aunt Mary’s Spring, right at my front door.
