True Grass Again (Pinecastle PRC 1219, 2018) is Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road's first studio release in over three years, arriving August 9, 2018, at the height of Jordan's "True Grass Movement" — a campaign to preserve traditional acoustic bluegrass amid genre pressure. Jordan (mandolin, vocals) leads Ben Greene (banjo, vocals), Josh Goforth (fiddle, vocals), Tommy Long (guitar, vocals), and Will Jones, with bass duties split between Jason Moore and Terry Smith. Guest vocalists Junior Sisk and Danny Paisley appear on the title track, a rallying anthem that followed Jordan's earlier single "True Grass" — which had topped the Bluegrass Unlimited National Bluegrass Survey for sixteen consecutive months. The album crystallized the band's identity as one of the genre's most outspoken traditionalist acts of the 2010s.
