Original Traditional is a record that Blue Highway had been intending to make for years, a combination of unique concept album and a continuation of the band’s songwriting legacy. According to Tim Stafford, speaking on behalf of the band, they had more than enough material for their next record, and tried to figure out a way of choosing and organizing what tunes they wanted to record. Then the light bulb went on, bringing to mind the “missing record” they had thought about doing, off and on, and they realized this was it! There is not another record so conceived, partially because it’s hard to think of another contemporary bluegrass band that could pull it off, with roots deep enough in traditional bluegrass, and the songwriting chops to make it work. But here it is: an entire album that has the sound of an earlier time, both musically and thematically, but that is comprised entirely of new, previously unrecorded originals from Blue Highway itself. As such, it is unique not only in Blue Highway’s recorded output, but among records from their peers.
