Local band's music to be part of 'Justified' tonight

FX's hit show "Justified," set partially in Harlan County, Kentucky, will have a little local flavor in tonight's episode, with five songs from the county's Cumberland River Band. An instrumental version of one song was in the opening scene of the March 2 episode, but tonight's will include original versions of songs "Friend I'm Fine," "Let the Moonshine Flow," "Wild Berries," "My Dad" and "Ridge Runner," Nola Sizemore of the Harlan Daily Enterprise reports.

"Privileged and humbled are a couple of ways we feel right now," upright bass player Joseph Jones told Sizemore. "Everybody in the band hopes we’re making Harlan County proud. It’s a great honor to get the chance to represent this great place that we call home." The band also includes James Dean on banjo and vocals, Dustin Middleton on mandolin and vocals, Jamie Stewart on dobro and Andy Buckner on guitar and vocals. The band recently signed a record deal with Rural Rhythm Records and plans an album later this year. (Read more)
