Band Also Shares Bluegrass Gospel Track “Follow the Leader,” a Fresh Spin on a Dottie Rambo Classic
Nashville, Tenn. – Bluegrass favorites Nick Chandler and Delivered are excited for the release of not one, but two brand-new singles—each showcasing a different side of the band’s musical identity. The first is a high-energy, traditional Bluegrass track titled “Hazel Creek” (listen HERE), which is an original song written by the legendary Tom T. Hall and Dixie Hall. The second is a moving Gospel anthem called “Follow the Leader” (listen HERE), a harmony-filled tune with a heartfelt message. Both singles are available now via Pinecastle Records on all digital and streaming platforms.
“Hazel Creek” is a fast-paced love song brimming with traditional Bluegrass charm. Penned by Country music icons Tom T. and Dixie Hall, the track holds historic significance as it’s being released on all streaming and digital retailers for the very first time. Nick Chandler and Delivered highlight their unique approach on the song with driving banjo, sharp mandolin work and a touch of clawhammer banjo at the very end for added authenticity. Nick’s commanding lead vocals shine as the song’s narrator sets off through the hills to bring a daisy to his beloved, creating a romantic, energetic journey that captures the spirit of classic Bluegrass storytelling.
On the Gospel side, “Follow the Leader” is a mid-tempo track that brings together tight harmonies and a powerful message of faith. Originally written and recorded by Dottie Rambo and previously covered by The Whites, Nick Chandler and Delivered bring their own Bluegrass-meets-Southern Gospel twist on the beloved tune. With its inspiring lyrics about following God to make it to the other side, the track feels both timeless and timely, sure to resonate with listeners across generations.
Hailing from Western North Carolina, Nick Chandler and Delivered have made a name for themselves with their signature blend of hard-driving traditional Bluegrass and heartfelt Gospel music. The band features Nick Chandler on mandolin and vocals, Gary Trivette on bass, Jake Burrows on banjo and Spencer Atkinson on guitar. The group is currently in the studio working on their next album, which will include these new songs along with their previous single “Never Did No Wanderin’” – a reimagined version of the folk favorite featured in the cult classic film A Mighty Wind.
