Tim wrote or co-wrote nine of the fourteen songs, half of which are instrumentals. Guest vocalists include former Newgrass Revival lead singer John Cowan, local great Keith Williams, and Wildfire’s Robert Hale and Darrell Webb. Flatpicking legend Tony Rice says: “Tim Stafford was one of my favorite guitar players before he was anyone else’s favorite. I have listened to this recording over and over. If you can wear out a CD, I would have worn this one out already. The album is amazing.” Tim is a veteran bluegrass performer. He played with Alison Krauss and Union Station from 1990-92 and was a Grammy winner in 1993 for “Every Time You Say Goodbye.” He is also an acclaimed guitar teacher, producer, arranger and songwriter, having written songs recorded by a number of contemporary bluegrass artists, including Blue Highway, Dan Tyminski, Mountain Heart, Lonesome River Band, Ronnie Bowman, Claire Lynch, and Kenny and Amanda Smith. His instructional video, “Acoustic Guitar Fundamentals,” was released in 2001, and he has been featured as an instructor at dozens of bluegrass camps and workshops. For the last ten years, Tim has played with the band Blue Highway, which was a Grammy and Dove Award nominee in 2004 for “Wondrous Love.” In 2002, he was named Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America Bluegrass Guitar Performer of the Year. He has also won six International Bluegrass Music Association Awards.
