I just got an email about the XM Bluegrass Junction Chart for this month, and it’s pretty cool!

Take This Hammer is now #5 on the chart, and the Mashville album is #13 in the Satellite World! We REALLY appreciate everyone requesting our music, the whole Mashville gang hopes that you keep it up! We need your help to get us to the top of the chart next month… and considering that last month’s #4 song is the #1 song this month, I think we have a pretty good chance.

You can call XM Bluegrass Junction at 1-866-267-0375 to request Take This Hammer, or any other song that you might be in the mood for… but make sure and ask for Take This Hammer while you’re at it. hahaha
Even though it’s probably a better idea to call in, you can also request via the website XMFan.com here’s a link.

Also if you don’t have satellite radio, I would REALLY encourage you to do so. For a low monthly fee, you can listen to pretty much any kind of music, pretty much anywhere in the US or Canada. I have a unit that I can move from a stereo, to a boombox, to my car. I’ve had it for 5-6 years and it’s great. I don’t leave home without it.

To commemorate the release of the single “Take This Hammer” to Bluegrass radio, and the release of the “Smash Hits of Bluegrass” album by the Mashville Brigade, Rural Rhythm Records, The Mashville Brigade, and the Bluegrass Blog have decided to give away 10 copies of “Bluegrass Smash Hits”, and a grand prize of a hammer autographed by the Mashville Brigade!

To enter, simply register with the Bluegrass Blog and enter your email and name. Soon you’ll be mashing and hammering and all that jazz. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO!

I can’t tell you guys how happy I am with the way this CD turned out! If you like traditional Bluegrass Music with a little bit of a contemporary edge, I think you’ll be very pleased with it as well!
