Starting Over, released in 2002, marked a confident statement from Ronnie Bowman at a pivotal point in his solo career following his tenure as lead vocalist and bassist for Lonesome River Band throughout the 1990s. Bowman had established himself as one of the most distinctive baritone voices in contemporary bluegrass, and this record gave him room to demonstrate the full range of that talent. Tracks like 'Lonely Quit Knocking at My Door' and 'Rye Whiskey' draw on the deep well of traditional bluegrass songwriting while reflecting Bowman's ear for modern arrangement and production. The album captures Bowman navigating the line between honoring the tradition and finding his own mature artistic identity.
