I'm happy to roam I can find my way to the mountains
and the ocean foam
But if I had a map to show me the way to your heart dear
I'd follow it home

Making my way through the dim lit streets of the old town
nowhere to go
Wanderin' with the sea wind in my hair I never slow down
I miss you so

Hold to a dream - carry it up and down
Follow a star - search the world around
Hold to a dream - carry it close to me
I'm frozen in time
Your love will set me free

The rain outside is beating down, I'm here at home
all alone
We used to stay so warm inside, now a night like this
It chills my bones

Hold to a dream - carry it up and down
Follow a star - search the world around
Hold to a dream - carry it close to me
I'm frozen in time
Your love will set me free

I miss you darlin' more and more, I'm thinkin'
Thinkin' of you
Late at night lying in my sleep, I'm dreamin'
Dreamin' of you

Hold to a dream - carry it up and down
Follow a star - search the world around
Hold to a dream - carry it close to me
I'm frozen in time
Your love will set me free

Hold to a dream - carry it up and down
Follow a star - search the world around
Hold to a dream - carry it close to me
I'm frozen in time
Your love will set me free

That fella in the white jacket on the album cover has the most "80s hair" I've seen in a long time...

Back then, Sam Bush was a crazy man.

At one bluegrass show in early 1980s, the rumor goes...Bill Monroe told him to wipe the Coke off his nose, before going stage.

Don't know why "released" is "null" but Hold to a Dream is the eighth album by New Grass Revival, released in 1987.

Thanks for digging this out and dusting it off.
It's really been 15 years since it was in the rotation?
Back when I was using half the company's bandwidth to listen to RP.

First saw NGR in concert with Leon Russell at the Birchmere in '79. Forty years ago already. How time flies. Was a time when D.C. was the Bluegrass capital (Yay for WAMU-FM) and the Birchmere the royal court of bluegrass stars. I still go to shows at the Birchmere.

Woa. THIS is old school 80's Nashville.  Knew John personally and followed the Fleck Tones religiously.  
*sigh* the memreez.

NGR had so many better tunes than Hold to a Dream. For instance just about anything off of the On the Boulevard album. Bela and Sam were at their best on the On the Boulevard album.  A lot of fans like their earlier stuff but for me OtB takes the cake!

Pot became legal in Canada today.
New Grass Revival, indeed.

New Grass Revival was such an entertaining live act! Miss that they are no longer together with Bela and Sam Bush...sigh.

What I love is that you posted this 2 days after registering at RP. Thanks for telling us what we're here for --- whatever did we do without you?

Charming stuff, and it's liveliness is a good setup for heading out to a late workshift. It's almost as bouncy as a cup of my coffee....

This is great music whatever you call it- New Grass Revival was amazing, combining many musical styles played with traditional bluegrass instrumentation and vocal harmonies. Play "Can't Stop Now" or "Reach" please.

Think we are here for ecclectic "music," which includes genres other than rock. One of the great things about RP is that you never know exactly what you are going to here in the mix. Speaking of bluegrass, I never gave bluegrass a second thought until Oh Brother a few years ago and now listen to it a good bit. Always nice to here some here every now and then.

Since their breakup, most of the people in this group went on to become real powerhouse musicians in their own right (Sam Bush - mandolin, John Cowan - vocals, Bela Fleck - banjo) and you can see them all jam together on stage at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival every summer.

I've had this cd for sometime and never tire of it. It's always nice to hear it come on. Thanks Bill.

Yes indeed. That is Bela on banjo. I have successfully uploaded a couple of Bela tunes that have been added to the playlist. All you Bela fans, let\'s get some more of his music here on RP.

I believe that is Bela on this track.

More bluegrass...? Maybe play some Bela and work them into more \"serious\" bluegrass? ;)
