Lukas GrahamGUEST
Like, recording with musicians I used to look up to, now they're recording on my album, telling me how proud my dad would be of the body of work I put together.
Craig HavighurstHOST
[upbeat guitar music] Maybe this guitar theme sounds familiar.
Craig HavighurstHOST
It's how The String opened each week for about its first three years, and that music is special to me because it's composed and rendered by the great Bryan Sutton.
Craig HavighurstHOST
Bryan is, as I wrote for his bio some years ago, the most accomplished and awarded acoustic guitarist of his generation.
Craig HavighurstHOST
10 times over, the IBMA has voted him Guitar Player of the Year, and that just scratches the surface of his accomplishments.
Craig HavighurstHOST
Now he's got a new project that's a great vehicle for telling his remarkable story, and he's never been a guest on the show.
Craig HavighurstHOST
So now on the 10th birthday of the show and The String's first theme, it's composer Bryan Sutton and his album From Roots to Branches Volume One.

Jake StargelGUEST
It was on like the CMT website archives of a live Green Card show, and, uh, Sutton was playing guitar, and that led me to get into, uh, their records.
