Glasgow, KY – Rising from the heart of Kentucky with a decade of unforgettable music, Kentucky Just Us proudly announces the release of their highly anticipated new album, “10". Marking ten years of music, growth, and success, this project showcases the band’s trademark tight harmonies, exceptional musicianship, and authentic songwriting while celebrating both tradition and innovation in Bluegrass and Roots Music.

“10” will be available on October 4 across all major streaming platforms. Fans are invited to join the band in celebrating this milestone at a special release party and concert on October 9 in Somerset, KY.

Featuring ten dynamic tracks, “10” highlights the band’s original songwriting as well as collaborations with some of the biggest names in bluegrass. The project includes appearances by five-time IBMA Guitar Player of the Year Kenny Smith, Allen Dyer (Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road), Pam Perry (New Coon Creek Girls and Wild Rose), and Tony Wray, all together adding a rich depth to the band’s already powerful sound.

Among the six original songs written by Kentucky Just Us members, fans will hear their #1 nationally charting single “Homeward Bound”, as well as standouts like “The Oak Tree Shade”, a moving tribute to veterans, and “Wild Blue Violets”, a blues-inspired banjo-driven single penned by National Banjo Champion Jesse Meador. Fiddle player Kacey O’Neal contributes two original works, “Sing for Me Whippoorwill” and “Last Train”, while bassist Shelane O’Neal closes the album with a deeply personal tribute to her late father, “I’m So Thankful for You Daddy.”

Adding to the project’s power are contributions from celebrated songwriters David Stewart (“Blue Kentucky Morning”) and Tim Raybon (“Bluegrass Music”), along with unforgettable renditions of the Tom T. Hall classic “That’s How I Got to Memphis” and the Osborne Brothers’ “Georgia Mules and Country Boys.”

“10 is more than an album—it’s a celebration of where we’ve been, the music we love, and the future ahead,” says the band. “Every track takes listeners on a journey through joy, tears, tradition, and new horizons. We’d like to thank everyone who helped bring this album to life. We are beyond grateful and excited to share 10 with you, a collection of songs we’ve poured our heart and soul into and we hope they resonate with you as much as they do with us.” -Kentucky Just Us
