Puttin' New Roots Down is a studio album by IIIrd Tyme Out, the North Carolina-based ensemble that Russell Moore built into one of the most decorated vocal groups in contemporary bluegrass. Released in 2005, the record demonstrates the group's gift for taking material from across country and bluegrass history and finding the harmony-centered core in it. Moore's lead voice anchors the ensemble, and the group's five-part arrangements are built with the kind of precision that has earned IIIrd Tyme Out multiple IBMA awards. The album sits in their consistent mid-period output, when the band had fully found its voice and was producing records that satisfied both hardcore traditionalists and casual bluegrass listeners seeking strong vocal music.
