"I Am Strong" Drawing Awareness To Childhood Cancer
Posted on January 03, 2011

In a rare occasion of combined efforts, Nashville’s music community is gathering in support of “I AM STRONG,” a song drawing awareness to the childhood cancer epidemic. “I AM STRONG” features the award-winning, Grammy-nominated group The Grascals with special guest Dolly Parton.

The song was written by Grascals’ band member Jamie Johnson and his wife Susanne Mumpower-Johnson along with Jenee Fleenor after The Grascals visited the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and were inspired by the stories and power of the children being treated there.

In honor of the children and this song, Cracker Barrel is donating a percentage of the proceeds from this CD to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The album, The Grascals & Friends - Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin, has 13 country music songs on it that you have probably heard before, but most likely not like this.

The Grascals bring their own bluegrass style to the tunes and bring the different tracks to life with eight of their friends, including Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels and Dolly Parton. The Grascals & Friends - Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin will be available next Monday, exclusively at all Cracker Barrel locations.
