Same Old Place (Rounder Records, 2009) was NewFound Road's fifth overall release and second for Rounder, produced by Jim VanCleve of Mountain Heart. The lineup at recording — Tim Shelton (guitar, lead vocals), Carl "Junior" Williams (banjo), Joe Booher (mandolin), and Randy Barnes (bass), with guests Justin Moses and Brandon Godman — made this one of the band's most polished studio outings. VanCleve's production sharpened the group's blend of driving bluegrass, gospel-inflected ballads, and original songwriting, cementing their standing as one of the era's more versatile progressive acts. Note: the catalog's personnel entry lists Brad Kolodner, Sean McComiskey, and Tim Shelton — a mix that does not match the documented NewFound Road lineup; Kolodner and McComiskey are associated with other projects.
