In 1984 the group moved to Sugar Hill Records, and released their first album featuring the new lineup, "On the Boulevard". In 1986 the band signed with EMI Records and released an eponymous album "New Grass Revival", which proved to be their breakthrough into the mainstream. Two of the singles from the album, "What You Do to Me" and "Ain't That Peculiar" were minor hits on the country charts, and Fleck's showcase "Seven by Seven" was nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental. "Hold to a Dream", released in 1987, was just as successful as its predecessor, featuring the hits "Unconditional Love" and "Can't Stop Now," both of which nearly made the Top 40.
