The Daughters of Bluegrass album, BACK TO THE WELL was honored to receive the 2006 International Bluegrass Music Association's RECORDED EVENT OF THE YEAR award!The Daughters of Bluegrass was an idea by Lorraine Jordan and Gena Britt as they were traveling together in Carolina Road Band. They both agreed that there were so many great female pickers and vocalists playing the bluegrass festivals that there would be a demand for a musical project showing off the talented women. So in 2001 they began to put together some of the women in bluegrass on one project. The first project was picked up by the CMH Label and entitled The Daughters of American Bluegrass. The first project consists of Lorraine and Gena along with Dale Ann Bradley, Anita Fisher, Honi Deaton, Kristin Scott-Benson, Michelle Birkby-Vance, Missey Raines, Chrystal Franklin, Cindy Cashdollar, Kim Fox, and Deanie Richardson who are all from various bluegrass groups. The first project was nominated for IBMA 2005 Project of the Year. The second project consists of Lorraine and Gena, Mindy Rakestraw, Frances Mooney, Donica Christensen, Jeanette Williams, Valerie Smith, Becky Buller, Beth Lawrence, Julie Elkins, Angela Oudean, Louisa Branscomb, Michelle Nixon, Dale Ann Bradley, Heather Berry, Megan McCormick, and Vicki Simmons. Back to the Well was released in February 2006 and The Daughters of Bluegrass showcased at SPBGMA in Nashville, Tennessee that same month.
