Bill Grady - Nothing Runs Free (2018)

Nothing Runs Free is a twelve-track concept album that tells the story of The Wanderer, a broken soul from Louisiana looking to find the courage to confront his past and journey back home. Each track on the record draws influences from a different flavor of acoustic music, including the bluegrass-tinged rhythms of "Feet Don't Fail Me Now," the beautiful classical melody of "Annie's Waltz," the low-down bluesy swagger of "Train Came Right on Time," or the New Orleans flavor of "French Quarter Mile." Musicians on the record include Grammy-winning violinist for the Infamous Stringdusters Jeremy Garrett, Grammy-nominated harmonica player Billy Branch, banjoist Wavy Dave of Cornmeal, as well as the amazing musicians that comprise nationally renowned Grateful Dead cover band Terrapin Flyer.
