On THE OLD SCHOOL, Bluegrass legend Rowan delves further into his legacy as one of Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys with some of the first generation players who really know 'the old school' while welcoming younger players considered to be the torchbearers for the future of Bluegrass music. The album includes 11 Rowan originals and a rework of 'Freedom Riders,' the Civil Rights anthem made popular by Odetta. Rhythms Magazine wrote, 'Rowan proves himself capable of composing timeless songs and delivering them with conviction and authenticity.'
