People.com exclusively premiered a first listen to "In the Sweet By and By," produced by GRAMMY®-nominated producer Jerry Salley, who along with Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle and Bradley Walker accompany Parton on the track to sing harmony vocals as a bluegrass quartet, reminiscent of an acoustic Jordanaires. "I will forever be grateful to Dolly for trusting me and allowing me to work with her on this project," shared Salley.

Country Faith Bluegrass also features the first collaboration between IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Dale Ann Bradley and multi-GRAMMY®-nominated family group The Isaacs on their new swampy version of “Working on a Building." Additionally, the album contains The Steeldrivers' debut gospel recording, "River of Forgiveness," written by Steeldriver fiddle player and vocalist Tammy Rogers-King and Salley.

Salley also joins Shenandoah's lead singer Marty Raybon on "My Future Ain't What It Used to Be." There are more originals on the album like “Walk with Me," recorded and co-written by country music newcomer Caeland Garner with 2014 and 2018 IBMA Entertainer Of The Year recipients Balsam Range. Additional new arrangements include “Shall We Gather at the River” by bluegrass Hall of Fame member Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, “Rank Strangers” by the 2019 IBMA Entertainers of The Year Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers and “Drifting Too Far from the Shore” by Grand Ole Opry favorites Darin & Brooke Aldridge.

Additionally, Country Faith Bluegrass offers previously released recordings by iconic country artists such as Patty Loveless & Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and Charlie Daniels featuring Mac Wiseman & The Whites as well as bluegrass legends Alison Krauss & The Cox Family, The Del McCoury Band and Dailey & Vincent.

The 14-song collection was executive produced by Deborah Evans Price, Danny McGuffey and Dottie Leonard Miller and produced by Salley. Physical copies of Country Faith Bluegrass will be exclusively available in Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations.
