“I first heard Columbus Stockade Blues as a teenager in Alabama. from a dear friend I called my Grandfather Jack Alexander.  He would pick up his old Martin and sing it to me and quote these words jokingly with a grin "Bill if you had any sense you'd record this song and make it big" I'd laugh and shrug it off all the while knowing I would just for him if ever given the chance.  Sam Passamano, II, President of Rural Rhythm Records, and talked about maybe recording a classic traditional song and I immediately heard Jack in the back of my mind telling me to PICK ‘Columbus Stockade Blues’.  So I did…When it came down to cutting the vocal I wanted to make sure the original melody was intact, so I immediately called longtime friend Ronnie Bowman.  This song was a one taker with the band it just seem to flow out effortlessly. So in a way old seeds planted still grow and I’m sure glad they did.  I do believe we all did it justice with a slight twist and I bet old Jack is smiling.
” – Billy Droze

“Columbus Stockade Blues” first made famous by the founding father of Bluegrass himself Mr. Bill Monroe but was written and recorded way back in the early 1920’s.  Columbus Stockade was an actual place, a well-known jail and police station since as far back as the 1850's.  The song speaks about a man who was incarcerated at the facility thinking of his love back home in Tennessee and knows if he ever made it out of prison it would only be in his dreams.
