Nashville, Tenn. (August 7, 2014) – The legendary “Soul Man” Sam Moore, and the fastest rising act in bluegrass, Nu-Blu continue to generate buzz, as they gear up to perform their brand new George Jones inspired single, “Jesus and Jones” on Fox News’ Huckabee show on September 20th. This must-see performance will be both soulful and bluegrass-flavored. “Jesus and Jones” is the first offering from Nu-Blu’s upcoming album All The Way, which is set for release on September 16. The song was written by Cheri Hefner and Rick Tiger and is NOW AVAILABLE at iTunes, Amazon, Google Plus, Rhapsody and eMusic. “Jesus and Jones” is also available for D.J. download on AirPlay Direct RIGHT NOW by clicking HERE. Also, check out Billboard’s interview with Sam Moore discussing the new single HERE.

This single takes Sam Moore on his first venture into the bluegrass realm, noting that he has already recorded songs in rhythm & blues, jazz, big band, pop, and country. Reaction from bluegrass radio to Moore’s debut performance is already garnering positive reviews.

“You pair one up and coming bluegrass band with one R&B legend, then add a song pairing country music icon, George Jones, with Jesus and you have what has to be the most unique sound in bluegrass today! Nu- Blu’s Carolyn Routh vocally sets up the song “Jesus and Jones” as a mainline bluegrass salute to the late Mr. Jones. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Sam Moore then shows why he is still a "soul man" with his turn at the mic. When their voices blend on the finale it is magic! Totally bluegrass….No….Totally soul….No….Totally great music….YES!,” says Gene Skinner of Great Stuff Radio.

“Carolyn's vocals align perfectly with Sam Moore's soulful sound on "Jesus and Jones" as Nu-Blu carves a new notch in their musical achievements.” – Bob Cherry, Cybergrass

“The song is massive!” – Gary Henderson, WAMU-FM – BluegrassCountry

“Sam was a pure delight, and the sincere joy he takes in music, and in having a chance to remember his friend, George Jones, was palpable.” – John Lawless, Bluegrass Today

“This is TOO COOL, … well done!” – Buddy Merriam, Blue Grass Time

“…we have the song in rotation as of today.” - Paul Marx, KBON-FM

After garnering multiple showcase performances, including CMA Fest, MerleFest, NAMM, and Folk Alliance, 2014 has already been a momentum-building year. With several new collaborations, including a special feature with the ‘queen of bluegrass’ Rhonda Vincent, this album is sure to go all the way to the top of fan playlists!
