"I think when we all get to Heaven we’re gonna find out that Everett Lilly is God’s favorite mandolin player-- and mine too!"-- Marty Stuart

The Lilly Brothers (Everett and Bea) were among the greatest artists in the brother duet and early bluegrass styles of music. Born in West Virginia and based in Boston during the 1950's and 1960's, they helped turn a whole generation of listeners onto traditional country music, through both their live performances and their recordings. They, along with Don Stover, who performed with them, were inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Honor in 2002. Read more.

Featuring Everett on vocals and mandolin along with his sons, Charles, Daniel and Mark Lilly, Marty Stuart, Rhonda and Darrin Vincent, Billy Walker, Ronnie & Rob McCoury, David Ball, Charlie Cushman, Larry Stephenson, Joe Spivey, Eddie Stubbs, Jason Carter, Dickey Lee, Freddy Weller, Mike Bub, Rad Lewis, Andy May, Marcia Campbell, Clay Rigdon, Eric Blankenship and Bill Wolfenbarger, this project is a celebration of Everett Lilly and the music he helped make internationally popular.
