Bluegrass and Gospel music have long been closely connected and Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers have successfully released multiple projects in both genres. Their two previous gospel albums, Hymns From The Hills (2010) and Sacred Memories (2016) were very well received with the latter producing IBMA's Gospel Song of the Year for "All Dressed Up" and Collaborative Recording of the Year for "Sacred Memories," featuring Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White. These albums have left fans longing for more inspirational music from this popular band and the wait is finally over.
Somewhere Beyond The Blue includes 11 tracks of soul-touching music and once again shines a light on the band's quartet singing featuring Mullins, Adam McIntosh and Randy Barnes along with new Radio Rambler Jeff Parker, previously with Dailey & Vincent. Jason Barie rounds out the quintet who bring plenty of bluegrass drive to this poignant collection of songs with a message.

"Hear Jerusalem Calling" is the first single from the album and comes from the legendary gospel group, Jerry & Tammy Sullivan. "I have fond memories of the first time I saw Marty Stuart present the late Jerry and Tammy Sullivan on the old Nashville Network cable television channel," says Mullins. "I was knocked out! Their power and passion shined through every word. I’ve played the music of Jerry and Tammy on radio programs for nearly 30 years and I love their songs, most of which are no longer available since their passing. 'Hear Jerusalem Calling' was written by Jerry and Marty and is the opening track of our new album, Somewhere Beyond The Blue."
