Background notes
Archive material and source history
Blue Highway formed in Virginia in 1994 with Tim Stafford on guitar, Wayne Taylor on bass, and Jason Burleson on mandolin. Rob Ickes played banjo and Shawn Lane fiddle. Their song 'Between The Rows' became a notable piece in their catalog, though its lyrics about Southern life sparked some debate in 2009.
Over time, the lineup shifted. Ickes left in 2001, and Stafford departed two years later, with Jesse Smathers joining on banjo and Kenny Smith on fiddle.
Songs like 'Blue Ridge Mountain Girl' and 'Farmer's Blues' show their grounding in traditional bluegrass themes, delivered with the group's harmonies and picking. The band has kept at it with Stafford, Taylor, Smathers, and Smith, continuing to record and perform without much fanfare about their place in the scene.
