Joe DiffieJoe Diffie is returning to his roots. The multi-platinum-selling singer, who began in bluegrass music before soaring to the top of the charts with mainstream hits such as 'Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)' and 'Pickup Man,' is coming full circle by releasing a bluegrass album on Rounder Records later this year.

'Homecoming: The Bluegrass Album,' includes some of the most well-known musicians in the genre. Making guest appearances on the CD, which was produced by Joe and Luke Wooten, are Rhonda Vincent, Alecia Nugent, Bradley Walker and the Grascals.

The 12-track disc also pays homage to some of the genre's most beloved songwriters, with Joe's version of the Flatt & Scruggs tune 'Somehow Tonight,' as well as Larry Cordle's 'I Know How It Feels'

'Homecoming: The Bluegrass Album,' will be available on August 24. Meanwhile, Joe is getting ready to hit the road next month to support the project. Click here for a list of tour dates.
