Mountain Roads Recordings' artist and bluegrass
great, Cullen Galyean, passed away peacefully in his sleep early in the
afternoon of Tuesday July 13, 2010. Cullen was a pioneer in bluegrass music
and while he played most all instruments, he was most at home with his
beloved banjo. He will be missed greatly by us all. If you didn't get to
meet Cullen, watch the video to the right that was made in preparation for
the Born Into Bluegrass project. I was proud to know him and call him my
friend Karl Cooler
