Movin' On is the 2003 debut album by the Austin, Texasprogressive bluegrass band The Greencards. The Greencards recorded and self-released Movin' On, selling 10,000 copies at shows and online, and reached #5 on the Americana radio charts.[2] The album was said to break past traditional rules of bluegrass music, by integrating a jam-band mindset while blending classical folk balladry and rock 'n' roll into their sound.[3] After the release of Movin' On in 2004 the Greencards won the Austin Music Awards for Best New Band.[4] The Greencards were credited with performing the most energetic sets during the course of 2004's Austin City Limits Music Festival, were said to bring a global sound to bluegrass, and—by drawing on influences such as Bob Dylan and The Beatles—were pushing the genre's boundaries.[5]
Several months after the awards, the band was signed by Dualtone Records, and began work on their next album, Weather and Water.[6] After joining Dualtone, the label re-released Movin' On in January 2005, generating still more airplay and sales.[7]
