Trussville, AL (May 10, 2024) – Shannon Slaughter has released a new single, “Silent As The Grave,” available to radio programmers today at Get It Played and Hope River Entertainment. We invite you to listen to this captivating new single and stay tuned for his highly anticipated next album, set to be released later this year. “Silent As The Grave is released on Elite Circuit Records and written by Shannon Slaughter and Tim Stafford.
“Silent As The Grave” features Shannon Slaughter, a master of his craft, on lead vocal and guitar, Cliff Bailey on acoustic bass and tenor vocal, Trevor Watson on banjo, Ron Inscore on mandolin, Aubrey Haynie on fiddle, and Gary Hultman, on resonator guitar. Each musician brings their unique style and skill to the song, creating a rich and dynamic sound.
“I heard my good friend Tim Stafford say this exact phrase when describing something several years ago and I jotted it down, anticipating at some point that I’d get Tim to help me write it,” shared Slaughter with excitement. “The song was inspired by too many episodes of any crime show you’d like to choose from! I really love what the guys did here with the intro. Gary’s reso and Trevor’s banjo underpinning the topside vocals really worked well in setting the tone of the song.”
Recently, Slaughter released another single, “The Lonesome Blues,” a soulful tune that showcases his emotional depth.
Shannon Slaughter, a consistent purveyor of chart-topping music, has been a beacon of success for years. His last album, Ridin’ Through the Country, was a testament to his musical prowess, with numerous chart hits like “Ridin’ Through the Country,” “Goin’ Up the Mountain,” “Common Ground,” “Plus One More Day,” and “Alberta Clipper.”
Slaughter’s musical influence extends beyond his solo work, as he can also be heard on Trevor Watson’s impressive new album, Out of the Shadows, and on the Bluegrass Today chart song, “Refrigerator Homemade Picture Show” from Crandall Creek, which was released last year.
