Charleston - West Virginia -

Rough and Ready Heart out June 8, 2018 on NewSong Recordings features the original songs of lead singer John Lilly

“Blue Yonder recalls Gram Parsons on Rough and Ready Heart,” writes Gary Schwind for AXS on June 6th. "This is a country album with strong bluegrass influence. It is filled with catchy melodies and great harmony vocals provided by tremendous musicians. If you're a fan of country music, you won't just like this album, you'll truly appreciate it.”

“Blue Yonder is a serious West Virginia treasure.” –Vince Herman, Leftover Salmon

"Blue Yonder is essentially an all-star trio of terrific country and bluegrass players based in Charleston, West Va. Their songs are solid, well-structured and crisp with none of the dozen on "Rough And Ready Heart" exceeding four minutes. The sound is authentically pure, and it's both appealing and refreshing as the band moves through classic country, rockabilly, swing and folk." -  Jim Hines - Country Standard Time, July 6

"BLUE YONDER/Rough and Ready Heart: Unless somebody shows up real quick, this bunch is going to have to be crowned the new standard bearers of organic music. Folk, country, Americana, honky tonk? It's all here and done right. Singing, writing, playing, harmonizing? There's no corner you can look at with this bunch doesn't to it right and righteously. An utterly enjoyable trip down the blue highways, these are the sherpas that just won't steer you wrong. Killer stuff." - Midwest  Record Review June 15th
