Knee-Deep PLAYLIST-Show 456-Buddy Melton profiled

The Mast Farm Inn, located in North Carolina's High Country, sponsors a segment on the show each week to profile a North Carolina Bluegrass artist. This show features a segment on Buddy Melton, lead singer and fiddle player for Balsam Range, who picked up the IBMA Song of the Year Award last year for "Trains I Missed". Buddy was recently severely injured in a farming accident, but we are happy to report that thanks to your prayers and his strong will, he is improving greatly and now able to be in the studio with his band mates to work on the 4th Balsam Range release. I, for one, cannot wait to hear this one!
