The Grascals' Life Finds a Way, released on Mountain Home Music Company (MH-13902) in 2012, is the Nashville-based band's fifth studio album and winner of the SPBGMA Best Bluegrass Album award for that year. Danny Roberts plays mandolin; Jamie Johnson, guitar and vocals; Terry Eldredge, guitar and vocals; Jeremy Abshire, fiddle; Kristin Scott Benson—five-time IBMA Banjo Player of the Year—banjo; and Terry Smith, bass. The record blends originals with covers including James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James." Abshire was in his final album cycle with the band before Adam Haynes replaced him on fiddle in late 2013. The Grascals, formed in Nashville in 2004, had by 2012 established themselves as one of contemporary mainstream bluegrass's most consistently decorated ensembles.
