That reputation continues with the success of their most recent release, It’s About Tyme. As a broadcaster, it is not often that I come across an album which I enjoy presenting as much as I do the new music from Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. Even by their own lofty standards, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out have, once again, raised the bar for excellence in bluegrass recordings. The combination of fresh, memorable songs and exciting vocal and instrumental arrangements showcase why they have been among the bluegrass elite for two and a half decades.”
And the praise from colleagues, journalists and radio programmers continues across the board:
“It’s About Tyme is a personal favorite and one of our top 5 most requested albums of the year.”

“It’s no surprise that It’s About Tyme has topped the charts. Great singing, great playing and songs that fit the band just right – what more could you ask for? The band is a perfect blend of youth and experience, and Russell Moore is a force of nature, admired by colleagues every bit as much as by fans.”
Jon Weisberger, Journalist, Broadcaster, IBMA Songwriter of the Year
“When they told me this album had been #1 for five months now, I thought, ‘Well, why shouldn’t it be?’ With so many strong songs in one package, played and sung by one of the top bands in the business, It’s About Tyme is about as good as it gets!
