Ever Since We've Known It: More North Carolina Mountain Singing is a delightful romp through the folk sounds of the Appalachian mountains.
Various artists come together to create a toe-tapping, banjo-plucking, fiddle-playing masterpiece that will transport you to a simpler, more rustic time.
The album kicks off with the haunting vocals of Sarah Jane and the Bluegrass Boys on "Moonshine Mountain." The harmonies are as sweet as the corn liquor that inspired the song, and the bluegrass instrumentation is as smooth as a hillbilly's moonshine operation.
As the album progresses, we are treated to a variety of tracks that showcase the unique sounds of the North Carolina mountains.
From the foot-stomping rhythms of The Hickory Stompers on "Hoedown in the Holler" to the soulful balladry of The Smoky Mountain Sisters on "My Lover, My Friend," each song is a testament to the rich musical heritage of the region.
But it's not all traditional tunes on Ever Since We've Known It.
The album takes some unexpected turns with the electro-folk fusion of The Asheville Avant-Garde on "Mountain Rave" and the psychedelic twang of The Boone Brothers on "Acid Rain on Grandfather Mountain." Overall, Ever Since We've Known It: More North Carolina Mountain Singing is a must-listen for any fan of folk music.
With its eclectic mix of traditional and modern sounds, this album is a love letter to the mountains and the musicians who call them home.
So grab a jug of moonshine, kick back on the front porch, and let the music carry you away to the North Carolina mountains.
Cheers, y'all!
