Review:
‘The artists here rank among the finest in the genre’ - New York Post
Description:
The magnificent Appalachian mountain range encompasses eighteen states on its journey from New England to Georgia and is home to one of the most diverse and thriving music scenes in the USA. Perhaps best known as the source of bluegrass, the Appalachians also host a variety of old-time, gospel, folk and country sounds. The Rough Guide To The Music Of The Appalachians features all these styles, with tracks touching on themes such as hard-times, nostalgia, faith, family, lost love and murder.
