No, not in the book per se.
Yes, there are a couple books, but Blue Highway chose instead to write their own book. Those guys have been together for over 20 years now, having formed in 1994. I saw their very first show together at the Down Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, as the band I was playing with back then was HQ'd in nearby Jonesboro. We all knew each other, as the bluegrass community is so comparatively small.
Tim Stafford (guitar player) built that band from the ground up after leaving Alison Krauss & Union Station, a tough gig to walk away from even then, as the Grammys had just started rolling in. They quickly established themselves as a one of the very few bluegrass acts to go mainstream. (meaning they actually make a living playing full-time)
It's a little unusual for them to do a cover song like Marbletown though, as they are best known for doing all original songs from within the band. Tim is quite the student of music though (as well as a professor at East Tennessee State University) so it's not surprising he's well-versed in the music of Mark Knopfler. For whatever reason though, they made Marbletown the title cut of an album, next thing anybody knew, a bunch of other regional bands were covering Blue Highway, covering Mark Knopfler. The whole thing hit me funny.
Tim's also quite a natural comedian... one of his favorite go-to gags on stage is an impression of Ralph Stanley. First time I heard this laughed til my guts hurt, it's just so spot-on.
