Yankee Grey is a six-man country band consisting of lead singer and guitarist Tim Hunt, fiddler Joe Caverlee, guitarist Matthew Basford, keyboard player Jerry Hughes, drummer Kevin Griffin, and bass player Dave Buchanan. The members played in various bar bands in their hometown, Cincinnati, for more than ten years before coming together. Signed by Monument Records, they released their first single, "All Things Considered," in the late summer of 1999. It made the charts and was followed in September by their debut album, Untamed. ~ William Ruhlmann
