Kind of excited about this one!   It's no secret I have love big hair bands from the 80's and Styx is one of them.  Now, lead guitarist Tommy Shaw (also of Damn Yankees fame), is showing his love for country with the upcoming release of his debut bluegrass album!  Yup, you read correctly.  Rocker Tommy Shaw is going country.  Bluegrass specifically.  "The Great Divide" will hit stores in just a few weeks, March 22nd.  And get some of the country kin helping out--Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam and Jerry Douglas!   Surprised?  We shouldn't be.  Tommy was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, and was raised on bluegrass.  “These are story songs,” says Shaw, an Alabama Music Hall of Fame Inductee.  “I think songs that take you on a little journey are the best ones.” Read more here.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96e5TCy99IA
