New Single “The Boys Who Left Prince Station” Showcases Jim Hurst’s Signature Sound and Storytelling Craft
Nashville, Tenn. – Acclaimed Bluegrass guitarist and vocalist Jim Hurst has officially released his brand-new album, Travels & Time, available now for purchase and on all digital and streaming platforms via Pinecastle Records (listen HERE). The 13-track collection marks a powerful new chapter for the two-time IBMA “Guitar Player of the Year,” showcasing his signature blend of masterful musicianship, heartfelt storytelling, and forward-thinking artistry.
Travels & Time seamlessly weaves together fresh originals, time-honored favorites, and inspired reinterpretations, offering a soothing listening experience that highlights both his musical roots and his continued evolution. From standout tracks like the driving “Mile Marker 203” to the stripped-down take on “Reuben’s Train” and the emotionally resonant closer “Last Song I Sang For Mother,” Hurst delivers a collection defined by authenticity, precision, and soul. The album also builds on the momentum of previous singles “One More Lonesome Train,” “Southbound,” and “I’m Leavin’,” all of which reached the Top Ten on Bluegrass charts, with the latter climbing into the Top Five.
The latest single, “The Boys Who Left Prince Station,” further highlights Hurst’s unmistakable skills. Featuring his signature guitar style and warm, laid-back vocal delivery, the track captures a reflective and deeply human narrative that resonates with listeners, with a patriotic twist ahead of Memorial Day coming up. It stands as a shining example of Hurst’s ability to balance technical brilliance with emotional depth, creating a sound that is both timeless and uniquely his own. It was co-written alongside Stephen Jackson Hylton.
